A Squeak in the Jeep / aka Cricket Noises
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2017
- I've got these annoying squeaking noises coming from the VagabondExpedition Jeep Wrangler. I'm fairly certain it is two different squeaks - a wheel/brake squeak and another being suspension related.
A local dealership, who for $45, told me a stone was lodged into the wheel/brakes and that the noise will go away on it's own and that I still have over 50% brake life left (front and rear). They didn't investigate the suspension noises, as this was a 'brake expert' and it would cost me another $50 to switch to someone that knows suspensions to investigate the other noise.
Who's got some ideas for me? I'll take it to another mechanic once I get a few replies that might narrow down the search!

Had the same noise...finally figured it out...brake pad mounting bracket was rubbing against pad and some rusty bolts. Strange but I greased it up and good to go!!!
Same with mine
I just replaced my brakes pads on my JKU and somehow put the mounting brackets in backwards too. Just had to flip them around. A good grease job should fix the other squeaking issue I hope.
Do you actually need the pad mounting brackets?... I only ask because I don't really see the functionality of them. I'm no mechanic so please pardon the ignorance.
Thanks for the vid - my 2011 rubicon does the same noise
The clicking sound heard when going over bumps is very similar to mine. I replaced the front drive line and the crunch-click went away. Yours may be the rear. This is common problem for three stock drive lines... Especially on lifted rigs. I thought the squeak sounds speed sensitive at first. For that, I'd say wheel bearing but after listening a bit more it'd check the torque on your suspension bolts. I found one of my squeaks was a lower control arm that had a super small movement... But it was the source of a maddening squeak until I re-torqued all my bolts. Good luck hope one of those gets it. At least you can check/fix those yourself and save the money. I'm subbed and like your vids, keep up the good work.
I have same problem but with my front driver side.I dont know what can it be.

I was feeling ones hits on irregular terrain and I noticed is the pedal brake. I need check for see if this have some graduation
Does that headliner makes a difference ?? I am planning on mounting headliner in my jeep Wrangler
Thank god u saw this so I know what to get fixed that noise has been pudding me off
Had the same issue. Replaced the brake pads/rotors and problem solved!
I’ve had an extremely similar sound, and I found out that it was my stock license plate carrier vibrating against the body of my Jeep and my aftermarket rear bumper. I fixed it by adding foam tape to space them apart, and it worked well.
My issue was exactly the same. Thanks for the tip.
What kind of camera and mount did you use to attach your camera under your Jeep? I have a chirping noise driving me insane in my brand new 2021 Rubicon. The mechanics at the dealer said they didn’t hear anything, so I’d like to record the sound before I take it back in again.
My 2013 jeep has a similar squeak but it can only be heard from the Inside, anyone know what’s going on?
Finally figured out my rear suspension chirp after hearing it for a year. The spring(s) are rubbing against the axle. A little old mechanic at Firestone figured it out and put some silicone caulking on it. And I haven't heard the noise since. It's been 3 weeks now. And no no chirp.
I have this issue myself now, driving me crazy! Did you ever find the issue?
I replaced my rear brake pads and used copper slip when putting the pads against the calipers. After that the noise was gone.
Try greasing the rubber bushings that hold your muffler that works for me
One squeak sounds like its speed related and the other suspension related. I would check your drive shaft and also the rear wheel bearings.
I got the same notice but its getting worse Without even seen this video I took my jeep to a mechanic shop and I described as crickets noise they were unable to find the problem I was told is a jeep thing…….. is driving me crazy
Ever figure this out? 😆 I’m late here but found your video because I’m having squeaking noises also but they’re constant even when I’m in park. But at 2:54 in your video it looks Ike the noise syncs up with the exhaust bouncing around when you hit that nice big bump. I don’t know anything really about car mechanics but just something I noticed. Maybe you fixed it already! I hope so! I know the frustrations of jeeps with “mysterious problems” that mechanics can’t fix until you pay them hundreds even thousands and then the problem still exists. Happy new year 🙂
I have a follow up video - but essentially it was my right rear brake that essentially "fell apart" - but it looked ok from a quick visual inspection. When the mechanic pulled that brake apart, it was obvious time to replace it.
Do you have aftermarket driveshafts? If so the "angry sparrow" sound as it's become known is likely the u-joints.
Just noticed the follow-up video... Nevermind 😁
My 2016 has the same noise. Going to the dealer tomorrow. Hopefully they figure it out. Need my jeep for camping this weekend.
What did it end up being?
The 2" mopar lift just needd to be re-torqued after 10k miles.
Tell me you figured this out bc I have it also and it has gotten really bad
Bearing mate if its not brakes its bearings change them out see if it continues if it it does try greesing up the uni joints
I have a very similar noise that I only hear once and a while at slow speeds. Slowing down or when letting off the brake and letting the Jeep idle forward. It went a away for weeks but came back after I washed the Jeep with a pressure washer. I wonder if my pad hardware broke also.
Here’s a link to my video
What did you find out about squeak
It all of a sudden got worse and I noticed it more in the front when before it was in the rear. It sounded like sparrows. My friend heard it one day and was like what sounds like sparrows? I was surprised he knew what a sparrow sounded like.
So the light noise I heard last year was the rear driveshaft cv joint gojng. When it got really bad that was the front. I thought something was in the brakes, which can happen. I inspected shaft boots numerous times no tears. I was at a crossroads. Spend more money and keep upgrading and keep building, or trade and build smaller. I wanted the new JL and I loved it, so I traded. I had 2.5” lift that gave me about 3” due to no armor or heavy bumpers and 35” tires.
For me it was just the brake lines that’s are held by metal hooks close to the muffler. The lines made a squeaky nose when they rubbed with the metal hooks and I just put some grease and it was gone.
I think that is exactly his problem...
Brotha I just got my 4xe 2021 rubicon back for the same issue and I kid u not they told me the same thing. That it was a small stone/ pebble that was stuck in between the brakes and rotors. Smh. My still making the noise. But mine only does it at very slow speed like for example when I’m rolling out the drive way. It drives me nuts. Let me know if you figure it out. Thank you. 🙏🏻
I have similar squeaks on my 2 door 2017 jk , and its stock, nothing been done to it, started after winter and its driving me CRAZY.
Same! Did you figure out what the issue was???
Did you ever figure it out? My 2014 JKU has made that sound ever since I bought it 4 years ago. I had the breaks and rotors replaced and it didn’t fix the problem. I’d love to know
It turned out to be brakes for me.. the rear right brake pretty much fell apart when doing a proper inspection on it - quick inspections still showed lots of wear left, but inside was a bit of a mess.
@@vagabondexpedition Good to know.. I have an angry sparrow w. my 2015 Wrangler..
I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the same problem
I have the same “chirp” when accelerating at a low speed. Only get like 2 chirps for a sec or 2 then it stops and it’s very random. But VERY annoying!! Any ideas??
Same!!! did you find out what it was?
Did you ever figure this out? Mine does the same and only at slow speeds (not braking) and can not figure it out.
my jeep just started making that exact noise but it’s not as constant as yours and i’m not sure what’s causing it but i hear it on my back left tire when i drive
Did you ever resolve this issue my jeep making same noise now cant figure it out
@@Marleysjeep4646 my comment was from awhile ago i’m tryna remember what it was haha it might’ve been my shocks i ended up getting those fixed and there wasn’t an issue anymore
I've got a squeaky noise in my front right area. It does if when I move it up and down and also when I move the wheel left and right it only does it when moving to the left. It's not the breaks or power steering. I first thought it was control arm bushings however I sprayed oil on it and it still makes the noise. I ended up spraying pretty much everything and it still makes the noise. I am puzzled as to where it's coming from because I can't pin point it. If I find it I could fix it. It's driving me crazy it sounds like the sound of opening an old Buick car door it's horrible. Anyone have any ideas and why doesn't it do it when I turn right? Oh this is a 4x4 jeep also.
I had the same problems you’re gonna have to change the rubber bushings on your front pitman arm it’ll take the noise completely away
@@partyanimals1879 my jeep has rack and pinion steering but I appreciate the comment. It's coming from the left wheel somewhere so I can only assume it's the suspension so I ordered a complete suspension kit. It comes with the works all the way around. No Ill just need time to install it. I miss my jeep lol.
@@my2centz196 Mine has been squeaking and driving me nuts. I tracked it down to the rotor being slightly loose. Sprayed it with lube and went away, that when I also noticed the hub needs to be replaced as well.... Bought mine used with only 34K miles, forgot how much work they require, especially when previous owner had no clue how to own a Wrangler.
@@fitcoachmarshall4310 mine was the strut tower. It got bent slightly in an accident a year ago or so I assume anyway. Over time since the powder coat chipped off it started rusting and bent further. I replaced them with quick struts because my spring compressor won't work on this vehicle but it solved the problem.
@@my2centz196 Awesome! Thats the great... and annoying thing, about Jeeps... no one knows whats wrong because it can be literally ANYTHING! haha
(I’m no expert) but I could hear where the chirp was coming from on my 2017 grand Cherokee and went crazy with wd40 on rusty joints and got rid of the chirp. (Don’t put oil on ur brakes and rotors please)
Hopefully this helps
Does it squeak any louder when you turn left or right at speeds of 25-35MPH
i have this noise and it’s worse turning right i’ve noticed do you know what it is?
Check your brakes sliders
I have same noise and can’t figure it out.
Check the brakes.. and I mean, take the tire off, and pull the rotor for inspection - a quick visual inspection was all ok in my case, but when we pulled the rotor, the parking brake assembly ‘fell apart’. New brakes and rotors solved the problem! Hope that helps!
If that noise makes any type of change when you apply the brakes, it’s your brake caliper if not good luck.
Brake caliper and not the e-brake pads ?
so i just lifted my jeep and all of a sudden started to hear this noice what could it be?
Ulises Calixto if you find out any info please let me know im having the same problem
Many squeaking noises on jeep wrangler actually the lifted ones like mine are coming from the rubbers that holding the parts by the joints! Just a grease would fix those noises and make sure keep greasing jeep important parts
It's the break clips, I had the exact same noise on my front left wheel. New axle shafts, New driveshafts, gears. And it ended up being a stupid metal clip on the breaks
They charge you 50 bucks for a thread stone. What how big are thread's on your jeep.lol
Mine does this too dangit
Thats a classic rear hub bearing needing replace sound. Your drive shaft is fine, your brakes are fine
Why do they go so fast on Jeeps? I have a 2017 Patriot and have done them at least 3 times already!
That’s exactly what I have in my 07 rubicon. Did you ever figure out what it is?
Yes. I still need to put together my 'solved' video - but almost all of the noise you were hearing in the video (aside from a small bit of movement of the muffler heat shield) was coming from the right rear brake. A dealership told me the brakes were fine and it was just a 'small stone' that would work itself free. I went elsewhere for a second opinion and when we pulled the caliper off, the brake pad assembly fell apart. Lots of pad left, but it was still 'broken'. New brakes (despite about 40% pad left) and the problem is solved!
vagabond expedition wow so random. I. Would thought for sure it was an axle u joint or wheel bearing coz it sounds SO much like a squeaky wheel. Thanks! I’ll have a look tomorrow.
so the squeak noise is from faulty break pads? have the same issue, i thought it was my heat shield.
weird, i just replaced my pads thinking that was my problem but
it still persists. figure its gotta be the u joint now

Try putting grease on hood hindges. Your hood moves with air and the touching metal squeaks. Look for black marks. Also new rubber bushings. I'm going to try same on my Jeep. Same squeak happened on my pickup. Drove me crazy... Realized it didn't happen with hood up.
I have a weird noise in my 2016 in the front thinking it may need grease but looking on here for thoughts
Did you take care of your noise? I have the same problem with my 2016 and don't know where to start looking.
Your muffler loss
I hate Jeep sqeeks n crickets 🦗
Bent axel
Auto mechanics are dumb as hell…
So is the president of our country…
I slapped 35 wheels on now it’s squeeking. Mechanics won’t know.. I gotta figure this crap on my own.
