    I have a 2016 trd sport 4x4 Tacoma. I’ve been dealing with very squeaky front suspension for quite some time. The only thing I’ve done to the front suspension is add icon coilovers. I haven’t noticed any performance differences sense the squeaking started. It seems to get louder when it rains. I don’t know if any grease points or anything like that. Any help or suggestions appreciated?

    Do you have aftermarket control arms

    I would say have a buddy or someone get down while you shake the front of the truck. I have only heard of squeaking from the aftermarket uca poly bushings. It might be coming from the coilovers. I dont think its the upper or lower ball joints.

    Icons delta joints need to be lubed. Did you add them along with your coils.

    Always check sway bar bushings. Easy to remove the sway bar and if the squeak is still there you can eliminate that without costing you any money or much time.

    I only bought the stage one kit with coilovers and shocks. I also had the work done at a specialty shop.
