Wondering If I have "angry sparrows" cv and if so, what do i need to buy to fix it

Within the past couple weeks, I've notice a slight squeak coming from my jeep ('05 Wrangler Unlimited), when going over bumps in the road, even small ones.

It doesnt seem to occur until 10 or 15 minutes into driving, and it sounds like its coming from about every angle of the car.... sounds somewhat like the small sound of zippers rattling together. It's almost unnoticeable until you start paying attention. Like i said, it doesnt happen until i start driving around for about 10 minutes or so.

I've greased every bushing there is, with almost several in the front, and 4 grease points on my skyjacker lift kit.

I sprayed silicon spray on the shock bushings, etc,
but I'm quite worried it's the "angry sparrows" of death that causes the CV to blow out the transfer case.

Just some questions... if it is angry sparrows, would it be the front drive shaft, and what would i need to buy to get it fixed to keep it from damaging anything?

I also have 2nd owner warranty left on my Jeep, until 70k miles (i only have 44k on it now), and/or 3 years left, whichever comes first.... if it is angry sparrows, would a Jeep dealership consider fixing this under the remaining powertrain warranty?

any thoughts would help

When the squeeks starts , have someone jounce the Jeep while you isolate the noise. As for the warranty, the aftermarket lift kit voids the warranty although the suspension is not covered on the powertrain basic and extended warranty.

A lift kit alone will not void a warranty per the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act.

You can also remove the front driveshaft to help narrow the problem down. If it's the CV in the front driveshaft, it will need to be rebuilt by a driveshaft shop.

Good to catch it early, I've built many transfer cases for jeepers because they let the squeek go to long and the driveshaft took out the transfer case.

Is it allways going to be related to the front drive shaft? or does it occur to the rear as well?

If an alteration and or modification is found to be evident in a warranty issue from the veh. manufacturer and a direct link of the modification or alteration is found to have caused the suspected factory part or component to fail, warranty is voided and the magnuson-moss warranty act is superceded. you can however try to get a warranty from the manufacturer of the non factory component.
