Hi all,
I've had an annoying noise on the left front end for a few months.
2020 2 door Rubicon
Never hear it higher than a few km/h, but when backing out of my driveway or slowly driving in a parking lot, i hear it.
It sounds like a knock or creaking or squeek.
Last summer I had a 1 inch leveling kit installed, it's the only mod i have.
Today I figured i'd take the left front tire off and see if everything is tight. All seems ok.
But, while I had the diff sitting on a jack-stand without a tire, I pressed down on the bumper, and heard the noise.
I put my hand on various components and then I touched the shock, I could feel it.
Is it possible the shock's piston shaft is dirty? I can't see because of the plastic guard.
The Jeep only has 14,000km (8700 miles) on it so I don't think the shocks are worn.
Probably did about 3000km since the leveling kit install.
Anyone seen this? Are the OEM rubicon shocks known to be squeekers?
