TSB 0273-17 Leaf Spring silencer noise

Had my Tacoma in for a transfer case leak and the service manager noticed my noisy leaf springs, they are going to fix them as well as the leak. This is on a 2018.

 

I wonder if these parts would work too shut my Dakar pack up.

 

Noticed a creaking noise starting to come from my 18's leafs. About 4k miles on the clock. Washed them and it stopped. Hoping they expand the TSB if this is going to be an issue going forward.

 

My dealer is going to do this on my 2018.

 

Does anyone have the updated .pdf for the TSB that was revised in October 2017 and now shows it is only covered under 36k/3yrs?

Mine are starting to squeak after going through a couple mud holes and creek crossing a few weeks back..

The service advisers are generally jackasses at my dealer, and if I show up with an old document they will laugh and deny it...I have 45k on my truck, so I'm outside of the warranty period.

 

not sure what you are saying but heres the tsb.

the rev1 was to correct the warranty which is 3/36 so not sure how thats going to help you.

 

Same here, 2017 OR built in Mexico August 2017. Just started this high pitched squeaking, not even 4k miles yet (like 3.2k). I hear it momentarily when I close my doors, and if I jump on the rear bumper up and down it goes wild. Going to bring it in when I get chance. I'm just happy there's a TSB so I have the dealership by the nuts for once... hopefully

 

Canadian TSB for this work is 5017

 

you guys are crazy... Fix it yourself..

I still have no noise after months with the easy slide lube..

 

I am going to continue to punish myself in a misguided effort to teach toyota a lesson

Also what would i bitch about at my service appointment if I fixed it?

 

where the hell do i find this? i went to NAPA, Auto Zone, and O'Reillys and none of them carries it.

 

I get it at Napa here in Canada...


Its good shit... Use it on everything..

 

goddamn Canadians! you get an AC TRD OR in manual, Tim Horton's, bagged milk and now this?! i should have never left.



i'll see if i can find some sort of 'Merican equivalent. i'm basically just looking for a full synthetic brake lube, right?

 

yes, a silicone brake lube...

 

DuPont dry lube has been working great for me. Mine started after going through a car wash. I've been in rain and through that car wash again with no problems.

You can get this stuff nearly anywhere.

 

I just lemoned my 2017 Silverado for squeaking springs. Literally, yes, lemoned. I wish I would have seen this before I bought my 2018 Tacoma.......

 

What...

 

What...

 

What?

 

How would one go about 'lemoning' something for just leafs?
