I noticed my jl recently only squeaks a little when first starting to pull out of my 50 yard dirt driveway then it seems to go away completely up to 60mph even when going over pot holes and braking but then if I were to pull into a gas station and then start to pull out again I can hear little squeaking again. I have a rc 2.5 spacer lift and RC dual stabilizer. It's a 2018 model with only 20k miles. I just read on here it could be as easy as putting tape on the rear window seal . I'm gonna try that when I get home from work. It can't be the spare bump stop because I ditched my spare for a few weeks and could still hear the squeak.

Check your brake pad clips. Mine had no grease and started to squeak like mad. You could really notice it at slow speeds.

I'll have to check over the weekend. When I got home I stepped on my step bar to get out and heard the squeak so I stepped back up on it and pushed down and it squeaked again. I went to other side and stepped down hard on the other step bar and same noise. Sounds like suspension. I noticed all the nuts to my RC spacer lift have alot surface rust. It all looks like crap under there compared to the stock parts. I thought it woulda held up better than that after a year and a half.

So I had an annoying squeak that came from the passenger rear and it drove me nuts, I thought it was my running boards but yes I changed my muffler and it seams to have gone away.

The clips on all my inside calipers broke. Under 500 miles on power stop setup. I used their grease and it looks like if dried right up. I’ve probably had 4-5 power stop brakes on Jeep’s. Going to try the mopar clips since they were fine for 60,000.
