    I have an 09 reg cab 2.7l. Lately ive been noticing when i drive, im getting a consistent squeaking noise that seems to be coming from the front. Not entirley sure what it is, but i noticed the other windy day...when i closed my door and walked away, the wind picked up shaking the truck. and it was still squeaking. Nothing too major but, itd be nice to figure out what it is!

    Sub'd. I've got the same issue with my 09 AC V6 4x4. I think it might be the front bushings on the suspension components but I haven't had the time to really poke around

    On my 09 AC it's the body mount to the left of the driver's side foglight recess (when looking into the lower grille opening). It squeaks like crazy after it rains; I hit it with WD40 and it quiets down until it rains again.

    I tried actual lubricants, like lithium spray, breakfree CLP, teflon stuff, graphite, and oddly enough the WD lasts the longest. One of these days I'm just going to pull the bumper off, jack up the body a bit, and pull/clean/grease that bushing thoroughly.

    That is the biggest problem Ive had with my Taco. Sounds like shit next to any domestic 5.4L +

    Is it a squeek or squeeling. Check if its the serpintine belts and the idler pully. Otherwise suspension, windshield differential could be cause.
