2016 Tacoma Rear Suspension Squeak

Hello Tacoma Peeps,

My 2016 TRD Sport , rear suspension squeaks. When it rains and water is on the suspension there is no squeak. Once it dries it squeaks really bad, getting in or out it squeaks. I add white lithium grease to the rear spring but no help. Any idea as where to look for this squeak.

Thank you
Chet

 

Locate side by rocking bed then have helper do the same while you're under the side making noise.

On mine, it was one of the driver side rear leaf retainers. Metal on metal contact. Once I located source, bent it back and has been quiet since. I too would spray lube on only for it to come back shortly after.

 

Thank you. Will definitely check this out

 

Check out www.spring-things.com. They are rubber pads that are supposed to help quiet leaf springs.

 

If the rain helps its probably dirty and needs more lube. Its worth trying to clean and lube one more time.
Pressure wash between the leaves
Then jack up the truck, and use a pry bar to spread the leaves and use more lube.

 

Will try that. Thank you
