    well my squeaky springs are fixed, but unhappy with service.. wtf never had bad service from my dealer till today,, they got all the pics when i got home,, stopped and got beer on way home and looked underneith, and said wtf, wasnt going back even tho only a mile away.. had to take tires off and use large c-clamp to finish the job myself, bad service tech..this was DONE AT SCRANTON TOYOTA, PURCHASED 3 TACOMAS THERE,, WONT BE GOING BACK THERE FOR A 4TH..

    I understand using the service dept if it's a warranty thing. It's just that my local Toyota dealer has not been stellar.

    Wow - sorry about the service. You don't by chance park/store your truck on top of a tidal pool, do you? Those bolts remind me of my 94 Mazda =[

    The tech was probably focused on what his true gender pronoun should be, and whether the service manager can be sued for making fun of his neck-beard-wraparound manbun.

    Just an educated guess.

    The clamps on my springs look like ops, mine came that way. Just looked after seeing this thread. How tight they supposed to be

    That’s pretty terrible service. Not sure I’d want them to attempt a fix. Maybe take it to a different dealership?
