Hi I have a 24 JLURX with the 2.0 turbo with less than 2500 miles. First issue: Off road I have very noticeable squeak from the front suspension it only happens when off road. When back on the pavement it goes away. The dealer said they drove it over some speed bumps and couldn’t get it to repeat - duh!!! I told them that it needs to be driven off road which they seemed unwilling to do.
Second issue: when ever I bake hard/ Soft/ slow/ fast it pulls to the left top the point that I have to correct the steering to keep from going in to the other lane or ditch. The dealer said that was normal for wranglers - something to do with the way the suspension was designed. I told them that I that I’ve had both a ‘13 and a ‘19 JLU and neither of them had a squeak or pull to the left when braking.
Any advice from you all would be greatly appreciated.

Stop going to that dealer would be the first recommendation.

Go to reputable off road shop that makes their living working on jeeps. They will find the bad bushing or under torqued suspension item causing your squeak.

Check brake pads to see if u even wear between left and right wheel. Possible the right is not clamping as well as the left and is why jeep pulls to left.

I can stand on my brake pedal with both feet at max pressure and jeep stops straight and controlled. Don’t listen to dealer idiot with their “normal for wrangler BS”.

Some of the OEM brake lines on FCA products are cheap and swell with pressure causing uneven braking. Fluid flow otherwise intend to move the caliper piston is consumed by hose flex. I swapped all four corners on my JL with hoses from GRIMM to correct this annoying condition.
