Getting a high pitch Squeak every time my front left wheel travels vertically (bumps etc). LBJ was recently replaced. UBJ doesn't look rotten. What should I look for? Fixes?

It's a 03 sport KJ stock

I couldn't tell you, it could be a number of things
I'd check as many bushings as you can up front just to be sure none are ripped/cracked
Maybe try some type of lubricant spray (PB) and spray one part/bushing at a time and take a drive after every single application until you spray a part and it doesn't squeak
It might be extensive but it could possibly work just to narrow it down somewhat
Make sure you only spray one thing at a time and go for a drive and not coat the whole suspension because then you might have gotten the squeak away, but you won't know what it was
Someone else probably has a better recommendation for you as I haven't had this issue before but if it were me that's what I would try just as something cheap and easy

Good luck

Check the boot on either of your front shocks. I have a squeaking and the boot rubbed the paint off my shock on the passenger side.

I'm guessing sway bar bushings...that's fixed the squeak mine had.
