    So heres the deal..... I have a 2011 Tacoma thats about 5 months old and it's gotten to the point where my neighbors know i'm on my way home from half a block away. It's just came up about 3 weeks ago and seems to be getting worse. I'm gonna take it to the dealership this weekend but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I'm guessing it's the suspension or the chassis needs to be lubed or something but doesn't make sense on a new truck????

    There still working on a permanent fix. They don't want to release another TSB until they can be as sure as possible it's a cure.

    I'm just using the upgraded sliders with the first run grease. If they complain of the squeak i just give them a shot when I'm doing a service. That's about all we can do until something else comes to pass.
