    I have a 1999 Tacoma base. 2wd short bed, 2.4-5speed with just over 361k on the clock. The front end (to my knowledge) is all original. The front end squeaks and squeals so bad it’s borderline embarrassing to drive around. Does anyone else have this issue? All front end feels tight no slack bushings look good to the eye. Everything I can grease has been. Just wondering if it’s finally time to replace the whole front end, or is there an answer out there to help me out.

    Had the same on an old Integra
    Just like 19975 stated, upr and lwr control arms
    But
    The actual control arm(steel) is fine
    You would need the perishable bushings
    #22 and #18 X 2

    Bushings are cheap, labor is PITA
    Arm Assembies are expensive (if not discontinued), a bit less than PITA

    AM bushes are available
    Unk about AM arms
