Front end squeak

so I've had the famous Tacoma front end squeak for over 2 years and it's driven me completely crazy... Gave up hope and chalked it up to squeaky bushings.... That is until last night, doing an oil change and late night waxing when I go to replace the oil filter, lean on the radiator shroud and it moves.... A lot, look at the mounts no bolts in the drivers side at all the top passenger bolt was tight bottom was pretty loose. Put two bolts in the drivers side, tightened the passenger side. Finished my oil change and went for a drive, what do u know literally no front end noise.... I'm the happiest guy in the forum today

 

Anybody else had this problem with radiator mount bolts literally falling out lol

 

Not sure, but I know guys on here replace the mount bushings.

Glad you are squeak free now!!!! I know how good that feels lol

 

Dude I'm so happy.... So frustrating driving a 40k truck that's 7 years old and sounds like a rotten piece of sh1t

 

I didn't have a squeak originally but did after replacing my radiator support bushings with poly. It was this exact problem, the bolts weren't tight enough.

 

For reference, this is the maintenance item I'm talking about and the bolts I tightened to make my squeak go away.

Think it might be different than the OP now that I re-read his post.

 

yeah a little different but same basic area

 

Here's a picture of the bolt I'm talking about. U can see the tip of the bolt coming through the radiator mount

 

Subbed for squeak hunt.

 

I'm going to try this as well. The squeaking is killing me!

 

I have two of mine missing! Also driver side

 

Was it squeaking?

 

Surprisingly its not squeaking

 

Dude mine was going crazy.... Literally every little bump was s squeak... I started jamming everywhere to not hear it
