My 96 xj started to get this annoying squeak on the passenger side. it does it when you turn the wheel in any direction, i traced it to the wheel hub area but not sure what is causing the squeak, i just replaced the tie rod and i went and greased all the fittings on that side side but it still does it:banghead: The ball joints were replaced just over a year ago any ideas? i will post a video of it so you can see what im talking about:confused:

Try jacking up the front end, and have someone watching below to isolate the part that's making the noise.

You said you greased everything under there...you may have to take the wheel off to get to all the zerks. I'd try greasing again; if they were really dry then it might take a bit to work its way in there.
