    Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem.
    But my rear leafs squeaky every little bump i hit (from the little markers on highway to speed bumps). its an irritating squeak that is driving me crazy. i ordered the truck and have had it since OCT so i know no one else has done anything to it. just wondering if anyone else has come across this?

    Pressure washing the rear leaf springs got rid of it for a while but it comes back.

    My '06 did this after only having it for a short time... I can't believe Toyota hasn't fixed this yet!

    It is very disappointing if the new Tacomas are still doing this...

    Glad I'm not the only one, man it gets on my nerves. I plan on pressure washing the leafs, take the rear tires off and use simple green first, then pressure wash, then the White Lithium Grease
