1996 jeep grand cherokee front end squell?
When I'm driving and I turn left or right i hear a chirpping/squelling
noise. Kinda like when you drive on pavement when your still in 4wd but no
stress on vehicle. I've jacked up the front end and wiggle both tires and
feel no play, see nothing broken or loose.
I replaced the driver side wheel bearing last winter because of very loud
humming noise. and I just put new tires all around. it was making this
noise with the old tires too.
I also replaced one of the sway bar links last winter because off clanging
noise.
the other link looks fine.

I would be checking the axle end U or CV joints. You can check them for
slop and jack up the front, turn the wheel to the side, then try hand
spinning the wheel to feel for grab or noise.
