Exclamation 95 5.2 squeaking on drivers side. Need some help

I have a 1995 ZJ Grand Cherokee 5.2. It currently squeaks (sounds like a bunch of mice or a helicopter blade spinning) on the drivers side. The squeak seems to occur when I'm going about 25mph and above, sometimes even when I just hit a wavy part of the road.

With the jeep parked, I tried bouncing it up and down, and no squeak occurred.

I recently changed the rotors and pads, so it's not that. I've also recently changed the driver cv joint, so it's not that either.

Any help at all, or a place to start looking would be great. Thanks in advance!

I'd start with shaking down the front suspension. Make sure all components are tight and greased. Do that then let me kno

It could be the front cv-joint/u-joint on the front drive shaft.

My thoughts too, haven't had this issue but I have ignored a squeaky drive shaft U-joint long enough to lose a drive shaft on the highway once lol.
