Passenger side chirp

Jack, check this thread out: https://wayalife.com/showthread.php/5487-bent-axle-shaft-flange?highlight=Bent+rear+flange

Very possible that the rear flange is bent. I had a brand new rear axle bend after running MSV last year, literally about 500 miles on the shaft. Even .010 of run-out will cause the squeak. And I'm on 33s. I just replaced it about a month ago. When we did this trail this weekend, I was very light on the departures. All it takes is the entire weight of the jeep falling on the rear wheel hard enough and flange is bent. Since Saturday, no squeaks for me. So I'm hoping I'm good.

And by the way, this sounded really gay:

Might have to go grab some new shafts at northridge.
