OK,so I think I already know the answer but I'll ask anyways. My 99 xj (stock) has developed a squeaking in the front end from what sounds like behind the drivers side wheel when turning a corner. I'm thinking its the u joints since I already know they need replaced but some other input would be great.

 

Sounds like the axle joint is telling you bye bye.

 

If it only sqeaks in turns while on smooth surface, it is definitely a knuckle U-joint going bad. Change both of them out as a set.

 

Yea,kinda what I thought. Planned on doing them as a set anyways. Just gotta limp it along til I get a few bucks cuz I definitely ain't buying junk. Boondocks thing 4wd and summit aren't too far in either direction from me
