I developed a squeak this weekend in my 94 YJ while trail riding. It only happens in 4wd and it is coming from the drivers side front wheel area. If I am turning to the right the squeak seems to go away and when turning to the left it goes away about 1/2 the time. What should I be looking at to determine the source of my squeak?

Axle shaft u-joint or unit bearing. If it is affected by turning I would think Axle shaft u-joint first.

Lets see what the "Experts" think of my diagnosis.

by all accounts it doesnt make any sense....you didnt even really drive it this weekend...pretty boring weekend actually if you ask me.

I would guess axle u-joint. Is it a disconnect axle?

I agree. If it was a unit bearing, I think he would "feel" it when turning one way or the other.

Simple rule of thumb. Joints squeek. Bearings rumble & grind unless dry. Unit bearings typically don't go dry. They just fail.

So, ding ding ding, Mongo..... you are the man.
