Chirping Nosie?

hey guys,

2017 tacoma with 35in grapps and 6in lift

chirping noise coming from the rear? i can’t pin point where it is or what it can be.
i’ve had ppl tell me multiple things. just trying to see what other people think
just replaced the front brakes after i first heard it. so that eliminates one thing
200k+ miles

 

You replaced the front brake pads after hearing a chirp in the rear…?

 

no, it was time for a front brake change. i heard the noise before i even changed them. i just didn’t know where it was coming from until i heard it in the rear.

 

When does it chirp?

 

pulling into a parking lot , pulling out the driveway, slow rolls
between 0-15 mph is when i hear it the best

 

Flat ground? Over bumps? Both?

 

I had a chirping noise on my 2009 OR at about 130k miles.... it was caused by bad U-joints in my case.

 

After some major service to my truck (which is stock), I had a chirp that was driving me nuts. It took several months before I could figure out how to consistently replicate it so the dealership could fix it. Initially I thought it was slow speed related but it turned out to be more RPM related and required a load to be put on it. So I learned I could replicate the issue by brake-torquing the engine.

My issue ended up being a loose exhaust hanger. They tightened it up and the noise hasn't returned in several months since. Not saying it is your issue, but something to think about.

 

Drop the drive shaft and check the u-joints

 

mostly when turning into the driveway or red lights , stop signs , slow turns, etc

 

i’ll check the U Joints when i have a chance to

thanks for the advice guys
