    so as I drive through little bumps I get a pretty hard squeak from the front passenger side.when I try to listen to the sound i can't really identify where it's coming from exactly. Sometimes you don't even have to hit a bump for the squeak Wondering if it's anything that needs greasing?? Any opinions would be appreciated

    Having the same issue and would appreciate any feedback. The noises are worse when the car is cold. I've put some foam around the panel located under the glovebox but it hasn't seemed to help much.

    I'll try to get a video up. I can shake the truck and the squeak is coming from somewhere above the stock skid plate somewhere. Also noticed while driving a loose rattling noise coming from the same passenger side suspension I want to say??

    I am having this problem as well but just when turning on an incline or hitting a bump while driving, probably suspension related.

    Its going to the dealer tomorrow. Hope to find out more

    My 2016 Tacoma was making this sound when it was cold, but now with warmer temperature, is gone for now. The video/audio clip is of me using my foot on the passenger side side step bar and rocking the truck that way. The sound is coming from the front passenger side area.

    My '14 squeaks all over, I just hit moving parts with dry lube from time to time to quiet things down.

    This is the exact sound mine is making, except i get it sometimes when driving on a bump or hilly terrain.

    How did you resolve it?

    Spray everything with wd40 and dry lube.

    Mine went away on its own but Im sure it will come back next winter. I was also getting the noise while driving, going over any type of bumps etc. But only when it was cold, below 0 degrees . This past winter, the noise would come and go during cold snaps and the weather warming up.
