    hey guys!

    Not a master mechanic but I do most of my own maintenance and part add ons. Anyway, I've been having this almost chirp-like noise coming from my front wheel wells while daily driving. It begins at about 10mph and seems to be happening when any type of movement happens with the suspension. Braking does not help. I live in AZ and travel dirt roads when I get out of town to camp and thing like that. I've tried using lubricant on the UCA, LCA, ball joint, etc. nothing seems to help. I've also noticed that the flimsy rubbery engine bay covers in the wheel well are help in by rivets. Could these cause the noise? I have 72K on my original tx pro suspension. Any ideas?? This noise suckssss when the windows are down lol

    Check and make sure all of the components are tight.

    I had this happen to me. VERY annoying!

    I checked my brakes first and realized my pads were sitting a little lose...tighten those up. Then I noticed my sway bar end links were loose as well. Tighten everything up, no more sound.

    Anther thing to check are your wheel bearings.

    Might sound crazy but I had something similar and it ended up being my ERG in-channel window guards. Didn't realize what it was until I swapped out to new suspension and the noise was still happening.
