so to update,  sound is back, WD40 obviously isn't the solution.  

sound happens when going down the driveway/bump with the wheel turned.  jumping on the front bumper it makes no sound, but rocking it back and forth its real loud........  totally weird.  does it in 2x4 and 4x4............. oye

thinkin it might be steering related now or something.................... to repeat, oye

WD = Water Displacement....not a lubricant.  Works good for temporary lube but nothing else.  In the end it will dry up and TADA!! your squeak is back.

Joey, that is what I tried to tell him...

Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

tightened the ubolts (they were mega loose)  that fixed it.  now its just regular YJ noises again ;) 

also, played around with the CAD, swapped the old axleshaft back in, and lubed my brake caliper sliders.  think its good.  just stickin with the regular shafts for now; will consider chromos in the future if i keep that axle.........

use a second layer of carpeting in the yj and problem solved...works for driveline vibes also.
Getting grumpier every day.
