    I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I recently bought a 2017 TRD Pro Tacoma. Love it so far except one odd thing. When I am turning and go over the slightest of bumps, the truck makes this sort of creaking sound. I think* it might be coming from the front suspension. I have driven many trucks before and I’ve never experienced this sound. I took the truck to the dealership to see if I had an issue and the mechanic was very dismissive and told me that was just a normal driving sound and likely plastic flexing. I am thinking about getting a second opinion, but wanted to see if others have experienced this first. The issue is more pronounced when the bumpy turn is on a grade.

    Mine was the front passenger body to frame bushing / mount. Ask them to have a look at that. It was installed incorrectly at assembly.

    This is a farely common issue, I had my dealer look at it but of course they couldn't duplicate it. They lubed up and made adjustments to what they possibly thought it could be and sent me on my way. It stopped for while but it's back now. I've just learned to live with it.

    Front body mount is def a known issue. The rear leaf packs will also start creaking fairly quick
