Check to see there is not a splash shield contact of the disc rotor, or the pads causing the squeel. I did have one wheel hub come in that the casting ***** for the bolts actually contacted my passenger side rotor. (Junk overseas stuff) That hub was in same carquest box, close inspection and exchanged it for qualtiy made in USA product, no more problem. We do couple of Hub jobs every day at our shop. Seems more common these days than fuel pumps. There is good better best available. I have the SKF, made in USA, 200,000 km and still going. I tell the customers that the price is the same for the cheap one as the good one. Seen the cheap ones fail by next day. Yes the part is warrantied, the labour is not. Try to go with the Home Made brand, the offshore is really inferior qualtiy. Could the sqeel be fan belt?
For alignment get couple tape measures, boards, and a buddy. Set alignment 0 straight ahead to 1/8" max toe in. I run 1/16 toe in with 3.5 lift. Second problem as we lift up is we loose caster, need to add some shims. Check out GOJEEP.com for a real good write up on the caster adjustment and how to homemade cheap caster shims. Good luck!

hey you think that works? I also am wondering if that's why my wheel bearing have been going so fast because when I bought my jeep I put 2 new ones on and now have replaced my passenger agaun and think my drivers is bad I jacked it up its not horrible but jeep guys/mechanics I hear a very loud not rattling but high pitched squeaking that only occurs when im in motion and its been getting louder I thought it would be like a grinding noise but is this the sign of it just starting to go out or something else? And sorry for all this nonsense if it doesn't make any sense pm me and ill give u my phone number so u can call me and I can let u hear the sound its that weird and I refuse to goto a shop because from now on im the one who does the work on this thing thanks to haynes manual but im just really broke and don't wanna buy a wheel bearing if its not what the prob is thanks guys please help a jeeper out so I can go wheeling worry free again lol

When your XJ has 250K miles on it and you still think you have a while before the engine needs a rebuild.
When you live in England and you are still collecting parts for your XJ in Ohio so you can REALLY fix it up when you get back..
Moving to the Mojave in a few months... over 120* last summer... time to look at new radiators!
