Does your Tacoma squeak?

I have this huge problem with my 2016 TRD 4x4 Sport, that thing does not stop squeaking lol. it is so annoying and I powerwash it like every 3-4 days. I've had this issue since like the third day after I got it brand new around December of 2016 so its only been like 7 months. Does your Tacoma squeak? What have you done to stop that??

 

Turn up radio.

 

It's a Tacoma. There are various things you can try, from anti-friction pads to @dan0mite's tie strap mod and similar, to new leaf packs.

 

Common problem. No real good permanent fix. There's a tech tip for the dealer to clean them out. The official Toyota procedure says DO NOT Lube them fysa.

Fluid film the entire underside.

 

My first gen did the same thing. 2nd gens do too.

 

The passenger seat does; drives me crazy.

 

I squeak so much. It sounds like there's a prepubescent child going through a voice change under my truck.

 

According to thehammer, it's probably your tires.

 

Lithium grease about twice a year.

 

If I add ions to the grease, can I use my truck as a battery? Serious question

 

Only if you install the flux capacitor

 

Fluid film, Boeshield for leaf packs and spring perches top and bottom.

 

Not sure new leaf packs will fix the squeak. My factory leafs never squeaked... but my OME leafs squeak like a motherfuc#er!

 

I had my leaf springs replaced at around 7000-10000 miles under warranty. There was a known problem but to my knowledge, there still hasn't been an official TSB for it. You can search my posts from last year to find out more or use Smitty's links. A search would reveal this is a common problem. Get them replaced, I did, apparently it is a few pieces of the assembly that can't be ordered individually so I had both the passenger and driver side replaced. No problems since and I'm almost at 25000.

 

@gotta tacoma, search is your friend.
