Front end squeaks when cold
2000 XJ, 3.5" RE lift with 32's. when I leave my house in the morning the front end makes all sorts of squeaking noise for about a mile. Its not the serp belt, its not engine RPM dependent or transmission related (does it regardless of being in N or D etc)... Doesn't change when applying the brakes....
So essentially I get going about 15mph and above and it just squeaks like hell, I'm thinking its gotta be a bushing of some sort or something to that effect, as soon as whatever it is that squeaks "warms up" it goes away and doesn't return until the next morning when its cold again. I'm sure I can chase it down but I thought maybe someone on here would have some insight. I've heard the sway bar bushings can cause something like that, but the road is rather flat and I cant imagine they are doing too much at that time. But any input is appreciated. Thanks guys!
