wheel axle problem
 
Ok guys. Been a while..

So was offroading on the beach for about a week. Half way through my vacation I noticed one of the front wheels is squeaking,

More details

One squeak per rotation,

U joints done at dealer about 9 months ago

I don't notice it untill about 10+mph



What could it be? How do I test for it.

Thanks guys your the pros

I had some kind of squeak like that after doing my 1 ton steering. Turned out something got caught between the dust shield and rotor. One tap with a rubber mallet knocked it loose and was good to go. One place to check.

Your wheel hubs could also be going bad.

If the joint is trashed, replace it.
