Weird noise please help!

[Jeep808]

Had this noise happening for over a month now and it’s driving me insane! Happens only at low speed and only after jeep has been parked for a bit. Like every morning for instance leaving for work I’ll have the noise then it disappears when take off on the Main Street. Mechanic at dealer says it cause it’s cold , and another mechanic says it’s my hub bearings. My gladiator was not making that noise when first got it. And I sure as hell know it can’t be the bearings! Any advice ? Please help a sister out!

All I hear is wind.

there’s a high pitch sqeak! Ignore the wind lol

 

[Lunentucker]

That's the second high pitched squeak video that I can't hear in just a few days.
Mine could be doing the same thing and I'd never know it.

Hope you can help each other.

Any mods? Could it be squeaking of the springs on the perch? I get a slight squeek at lower speeds after I installed the teraflex 1.5" front leveling kit. Everthing is tight so that's all I can think of.

Sticky brakes?

Does the noise go away or change if you apply light pressure to the brake pedal? If so, it could be the brake pads lightly touching the brake rotors.

Get outside next to your fenders and give them a wiggle. The clips on mine were squeaking like this.

Not really it’ll make the noise without using the brake, the sqeak is on rotation and only happens when first driving like rolling out drive way or parking lot after work , If I drive it during the day while doing errands it won’t have the noise at all. Only happens when my trucks been parked for awhile. I attached a better vid without the wind

I would say light surface rust on the rotors, but you live in Vegas--not exactly known for excess humidity.

Can you pin point where it’s coming from?

 

[pepeborja]

The sound is not constant and then goes away, it sounds intermittent and associated with rotation. Check dust shields, also check for a rock/nail trapped between dust shield and rotor. Check the brake rotors for shiny groves that could be left from a break pad defect which goes away when the calipers relax.

That would be my starting point.

Understood, but when it is making the noise when first driving, does the noise immediately go away if you apply the brake? You can keep your right foot on the gas pedal while applying the brake with your left foot to see if the noise goes away.

Not really. Maybe the passenger front…

I’ll try that when I get off of work later see what happens.
