creak noise at low speeds over speed bumps

OK, have 2019 taco stock suspension, noticed a noise like that of worn out 65 ford galaxie A frame bushings, has gotten worse after 8K MILES. dId NOT NOTICE IT WHEN NEW. Found that if I step on running boards and jounce them up and down at low intervals, can duplicate the creak groan noise and feel it if I place my hands on right front spring. Got my dealer to order the upper strut insulator that sits on top of coil spring, they replace it and solved the creaking type noise for those of you who may experience similar sound. Never happened at road speeds, only like when I pulled into garage where I crossed over a hump on right side of floor , or similar situation . I thank my dealer for ordering the part on my word. Not a real big deal but annoying as hell, esp considering the low miles on vehicle. It did not make sounds if driving in wet weather. They also did the reprogram for ecm and that made trans shifting issues much better as well as cruise control on highways that have some hills around here. In the for what- it -is= worth, catagories . Thank you all at Don Moore Toyota in Owensboro, KY .

 

Good info to know, thanks.

 

Having the same issue with my truck & found the answer here! Thank you!

 

Good info … I swear the quality of these trucks is complete crap . Toyota must be using cheap Chinese parts lol .

 

Ive been chasing the creak noises on my front suspension for months. I have Camburg UCA and King 2.5 shocks. I went ahead rebuild the UCA bushings and UCA ball joints. Creaks are still there. Finally, I replaced the stock LCA and solve the creaks noise. It turned out that the left LCA sleeve was rusted where the cam bolt goes through it. You can't see it unless you remove the lower arm. Im so happy to solve this annoying creaks .

 

Good to know, thanks.

With that said, my 2016 TRD Off Road squeaks, rattles and bangs like no other. Likely the 10K off road miles, beating the crap out of it.

Plus my toolbox in the back is full and just makes a racket over every bump. I just turn the stereo up louder. Plus my first 3 4x4s couple of Fords and a Mazda, were all beaten up offroad so they made a racket too. I guess I got used to it.

 

I now have a 2015 DBL CAB Long Bed, and it was lifted 2.5" with factory upper and lower control arms when I bought it. UCA's and LCA's I think are both wiped out. RF is substantially worse, but get SOME noise out LF. I replaced the UCA's with a medium spectrum UCA - (Old Man Emu (I never off-road it)) - have all new quality aftermarket LCA's and all dealer purchased associated hardware. The creak I have is so loud it's quite embarrassing. It got worse once I replaced the UCA's; my thoughts are that once the factory UCA's were replaced, it allowed the suspension to actually travel, and the bolts started moving more than they have in years, hence the creaking from rust. Your noises sound like the exact same noises I'm having. Anyone else have this problem?

 

I believe I have this noise too, it only happens when I'm turning left or weight is applied to the left side like pulling into my driveway or reversing out. I thought maybe the lca bolt was loose and I tried tightening. Still there, i've just been dealing with it. I have 6112/5160 installed for about 1.5 years now. My 2020 has 18k miles on it.

 

Same noise here. I turn the radio up

 

Mine made creaking noises last spring and just started doing it again last week (mostly when turning and reversing into my driveway over the bump) Turned out to be my aluminum skid plate. Maybe the leftover salt, brine and winter crap was causing it (???).
I fixed it by dropping the aluminum skid and putting some grease around the bolt heads and spacers....
