Squeak noise front left 07 Tacoma 4wd

Gotcha... I'll have to have another look this weekend. I'm thinking they aren't causing my squeak because as i said, they are only 6 months old, but i'd like to get them greased up anyway.

 

Any luck?

 

Shoot, did this weekend already happen?? Haha flew right by. Didn't get a chance to crawl under there.

There's another thread from a guy who it sounds like had a similar noise - it was his spare tire. But I'm pretty sure he could replicate the noise by putting weight on the back end, which I can't.

 

What I thought was my brake pads squeaking was definitely not my brake pads. Both wheel bearings locked up after feeling
like I ran something over. Lucky I wasn't rolling 75 mph down the highway. Wheel bearings were so f*cked now I'm replacing
them and brake pads and rotors. Definitely find out what is causing any weird noise before it becomes catastrophic and costs
you more money.

 

Did your squeaking sound at all like the video I linked back a few pages? I was messing around more today and noticed I can't really replicate the squeak by moving the front end up/down, but if I give it some pressure side to side it does a similar sounding squeak. I'm wondering if a bad wheel bearing could cause the constant chirp/squeak?

 

At 1st the squeaking noise only happened when I turned so I thought it might be my UCA’s. Then the squeaking started happening when I rolled so I was going to get my brakes checked out. Needless to say it was the wheel bearings going to shit. Destroyed the brake rotors and pads when both wheel bearings seized up.

 

Solved my squeak issue today. It was the spare tire about 1/4 turn loose from being fully seated. I am guessing when Toyota did the frame recall they didn't tighten it all the way and its been slowly wiggling loose over the past 6 months.

praise jesus.. I can drive with the windows down again!

 

My problem ended up being my shocks. Put on new front shocks and struts problem solved! I think it might have been my spacer lift causing the issue but regardless new struts fixed it

 

Hmm that could be my issue too, then. I have a small spacer in front to level as well. Planning to go Bilstein 5100 all around and ditch the spacer soon, hopefully that will solve my squeak as well.

 

Yup exactly what I switched to and the noise is gone. Great feeling. Got brand new bils front and back for 80 bucks on face book market place.
