    I Came across this video on YouTube regarding a 2014 Tacoma that has creaks. Got interested on why it's creaking. Would appreciate if someone could shed some light about this Here's the link: http://youtu.be/R_v9PevabYA

    That's loud!

    I see you're in SOCAL, but is that snow? I was thinking cold steel/springs being noisy.

    Just found this video on you tube. Just thought I share this with everyone. Cold steel/spring is this normal.

    Wow, that's nasty, it doesn't sound like the spring creak that I had on my 06.

    I've heard of a lot of Tacoma's creaking. Mine has even done it. On mine it seems to be the rear leaf springs. The pads between each spring. I spreaded the springs apart, put some extra rubber in between from a bicycle tire tube and sprayed a little lube on there. No more creak.

    Hmmm. Mine sounds just like that when flexing. It didn't start until after some moderate off-roading. It didn't change when I lifted it, so I figure it could be a body mount or something.

    I think my truck might be developing that creak on the front end. I need to do some investigation to see where it's coming from.
