Front tires squeak during sharp turns / quick turns

Gentleman,


I need to clarify something which is driving me nuts at the moment.


The facts:

2005 Tacoma 4WD (TRD Sport) with manual gearbox, 6” lift on 35’s (Bridgestone Revo 2 / 315/70R17)


So as far as I know, both differentials should be LSD, am I correct?


Whenever I take a turn a little bit quicker/tighter, the front wheels squeak. That also results in the fronts wearing down faster.


I could swear the truck didn’t do it when I bought it last year, but can’t guarantee it.


So my front tires are almost done and the backs look almost like the day I got them. The tire wear is even.


The question now, is it normal or am I getting paranoid?

 

Funny, this happens to me too. Started happening mid summer ( maybe it did it before and I didn't notice). Not all the time but occasionally when I make a sharp left turn I can hear something squeaking, and then when I let go from the turn everything is fine

 

gee, maybe you need an alignment?

 

35's rubbing at full lock maybe?

Front diff is not LSD. It's open.

That shouldn't affect wear though. Get your alignment checked.

 

Did you even read the first post?

 

A said before, alignment. And maybe think about rotating your tires every so often...

 

Are you positive that you are not engaged in a drift when you hear this squeaking? One good way to find out is, the next time it happens, check and see if you are overcome with joy. If so, you are most likely drifting.

 

Sorry i was lunatic and miss this line of the post.

 

Had the alignment checked a few month ago and they said it is fine. Wouldn't it show uneven tire wear if the alignment is off?

Right now it only wears out the fronts way faster than the backs.

 

4WD not engaged

 

Correct, 4WD not engaged (which you shouldn't on the road anyways)!
