2000 XJ
125,000 miles (bought used)

squeak coming from drivers side front
started in the last few months (maybe with cold weather)
seems to be in sync with tire rotation

diminishes and stops after several minutes of driving (warming up?)

Any ideas of what I should check?

thanks Pirate!

Check brake pads, unit bearing, axle u-joint, and front driveshaft

I have the angry bird noise on my Tj I think it is the cv. Joint on the front driveshaft in my case. It also goes away after a couple miles

It may soon go away all together, along with the driveshaft and transfer case...

It is on jackstands as we speak.

Thanks all. I'll check these items.

Sometimes, a heavy spray of WD-40, or something similar into the center ball of the front CV will temporarily quiet the joint, if it's running dry of grease. May help pinpoint the cause.
