PRODUCT MODIFICATION:
New control arms with a new type of hydro bushing with reduced movement were introduced in production at structure week 2010w24 (see chassis ranges in this TJ header).
SERVICE:
Use Chassis Ears toolkit (or other equivalent fault tracing) to fault trace the squeaking noise.
Note:
Other TJs regarding squeaking noise: 23109, 17644.
If the squeaking noise is coming from the rear hydro bushing in the front control arm, replace both control arms if these are of the old design before the 2010w24 release. On cars built from 2010w24 then only replace the noisy side.
