    TRU Automotive on W. Mississippi specialize in Toyotas & seem to do good work at a decent price.

    Or you can try washing your leaf pack to see if that cures the squeak.

    yea, just hose down the bushings. fixed my squeak. if it's stubborn you can use some silicone spray on the leaf bushings.

    Before you pay someone to diagnose and then fix it, try jacking up the rear wheels by the trailer hitch and then spraying-the-shit out of the entire leaf springs (and in between them) on each side with a can of FluidFilm (or some other aerosol lubricant that creeps and doesn't wash away easily- not WD40 though)

    It might take a day or two to stop squeaking but if it works, it’s a cheap fix. If it still squeaks after a couple of days you’re only out about $15 bucks and 30mins of your time and at least you’ll know where the problem is, or isn’t.....
