Noise problem

[JohnWick]

Exact same noise on mine started around 11-12,000 miles, still going. Can't find anything loose. Came to this subforum to start a thread on it, I see I don't need to.

Eta I do feel like it started around winter, and then today it was 50 degrees and I "think" it was less loud. I will pay better attention, but it may indeed be cold weather related.

ETA 2 - truck sits in a heated garage that stays at 60 degrees, and when I back out and come to the stop sign at the corner of my lot, and go over the intersection of the two streets(there's a shallow drainage ditch), it squeaks. So, not sure it's the cold.

supposedly a Stellantis tech came out to the dealer and they still can't figure out the noise. It has almost been 3 months with my vehicle. They have changed so many things with no luck. Seems so trivial but I guess not.

Pretty close to 50 degrees today and the noise is mostly gone.

I'm going to conclude that it's caused by cold temperatures. Wonder what it is.

Mine does this, worse in the cold. It’s a Mojave so I had assumed it was the infamous shock squeak or clunk. Seeing this thread, maybe it’s not.

Mine also mainly does it in the cold. <40 F sitting outside overnight is worse. I don't have a Mojave. I have been having this issue since 2021. Countless dealer service visits over the years. I am lucky because this dealer now has a transition in their parking lot I consistently make it happen.

ORIGINAL POST UPDATE

I listened to what everyone had to say, and went under my vehicle with silicone, lubricant spray and sprayed every bushing and rubber part at the end of a bushing I could find
Including exhaust hangers, swaybar, bushings, shock, bushings, all the bushings
And like magic my noise problem is solved
Thank you to everyone who commented

Guess I'll need to do the same. It was colder tonight when I left the gun club and the squeak was more prominent...

Bad Shock??

I do t think shocks. They replaced them multiple times.

Now it seems they have to replace another exhaust hanger mount, and the drive shaft carrier bearing. They also had to grease all of the bushings for the exhaust hangars. While it was at the dealer somehow my rear window seal is no longer working so it leaks water in. Probably when they were driving with bed off listening for the sound in back. I can imagine them using this to hold onto while someone else was driving.

BTW when they took the bed off and put it back on they didn't have the gas fill tube reconnected. That was a mess when I tried to fill it. They also didn't put the bolts all in for the bed, so it was bouncing off while driving.

That’s crazy

What the heck is going on at these dealers?
It seems that there is no one to do any form of quality control
I really like my Jeep and I know this might sound crazy but if things keep going the way they are I’m gonna go back to the original vehicle that I had!!!

Just throwing my 2 cents in for anybody else with this issue... I had the exact same noise on my 22 Mojave, and could replicate it by rocking the rear end of the truck up and down by pushing on the bumper. Ended up being the left side rear sway bar bushing causing the noise. If you hold the sway bar while somebody bounces the truck up and down, you should be able to feel the vibration in it.

Not saying everyone's problem is sway bar bushings, but it was for me. It's been handled for the moment by a dousing of WD40 silicone spray. We'll see if it comes back at some point or not.

Good idea. They replaced that twice on my jeep both sides. So far so good. All three exhaust hangars replaced with drive shaft carrier bearing. Silicone the bushings for the exhaust hangers. No noise.
