Weird noise...

I just got this Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 last week. Was doing great then took it in the beach, soft sand. Started making a squeaking noise (think box springs squeaking) after going into 4hi and 4lo. Took it to dealership who said I had a lot of sand behind the dust shield. But now it does it all the time, even 2WD. Anyone have experience with a similar sound? I don’t think it’s the suspension, bc when you bounce up and down on the car it does recreate the noise.
Seems to be worse at lower speeds and after the car warms up.

 

Leaf springs.... Blast them with water and soak them down good with a silicant spray.

Check your spare tire. Sometimes they get loose a bit. Mine was loose an eighth of a turn and squeeked horribly.

Thanks.
Leaf springs will make that creaking noise? I’m new to all this.....

 

Thanks.

 

Do you have Dakar leaf springs?

 

Sand in the crack, that’s the beach for ya

 

Go to the self wash bay with $10.00 in quarters and send it on spraying the hell out of the under carriage. See it that helps.

 

That’s hilarious...thanks, will work on it
