so when i bought me jeep it came lifted but after a while i started hearing a sqealing nose(like a mouse) so we took it to the shop and they said i needed new bushings now the noise is back just in the front suspention. by the way the nose happens when i go through pot holes and dranes in the street. but it usaly only happens when im going at least 20

You have a very serious condition since you have a NOSE coming from your front suspension!!
Plastic surgeon maybe???? :ROTFL:
Start by spraying the sway bar bushings with silicone and try that , then let us know what type of lift it is. That could also be the problem!

i got a weird squeaking noise coming from my front end. i figured it was something to do with the stock suspension and rock krawler lift and it would go away when i got my JBA. to my dismay i still have it, sprayed bushings with silicon and did the works. turns out last time i was wheeling this weekend i noticed it stopped when i was applying the brakes. when i was going over bumpy sections and it started squeaking i rode the brakes and the gas and it went away. my brakes look good and a pretty new so i guess i gotta live with it. :roll:

Where did you buy your KJ from, Jeep4Life7? Does it have a big ugly block of steel sitting on top of the strut? Hope not. Sounds like sway bar bushing squeak, to me. I've learned to ignore mine.

I'll take a look at it during the Wind River 4x4 Rally and we'll see if we can figure out what you have.

Hopefully you guys haven't come across my problem that I discovered today... The Passenger side D30A "Bracket" has the bushing beat out of it right where it mounts to the Cradle just below the forward mounting bolt for the LCA. When I'm on the trail or washboard road I get a constant squeak or clicking sound. The whole rest of my front end is Brand new and I can replicate it by simply bumping my hand against the bracket.
