Rad/Front Body Mounts Shot

2020 Trd off-road. 1000 miles same noise. Took it by the dealer and service guy said it was a bumper mount? They ordered a part and it will be installed next week. I would imagine the part he is calling a bumper mount is the front body mount. But I’ll know next week.

 

Anyone have OEM Part numbers on these mounts? I can’t seem to find them.

 

I've been to 2 dealers 3 times (tomorrow it will be 4) about this issue and they refuse to fix, probably because it's warranty work. They just keep tightening control arms and other assorted BS despite me pointing out the likely problem area. I will admit, I am able to reproduce this intermittently. Some days it'll be super loud and creaky, like rusty old leaf springs, and other days it'll just be a little squeak or creak here and there. Some days I'll get out of the truck and it'll be loud, other days I'll jump up and down on the thing and it'll barely make a noise. Has anyone else experienced this intermittent behavior? If so, any tips on reliably reproducing? I do notice it only occurs at low speeds, especially when maneuvering. I'm incredibly confident this is the issue, only problem is convincing them to do something about it. If nothing this time, I'm just gonna replace myself. Ridiculous that we're only 10k miles in on a $40k truck and this is happening.

 

less than 5k on my 2021 and it's making this noise. I can simulate the noise by pulling up on the front crossmember. Dealer wanted the truck for about 4 days so that they can send it to a body shop to get diagnosed. lol.

 

2 Months old TRD off road, less than 2k miles truck squeaking. I thought it was the suspension but thanks to this post I verified issue and had dealer fix it. I first did some troubleshooting hoping it was an early fix. So when I took it to dealer I showed them the video and they confirmed it and replaced both left and right body mounts. https://youtu.be/VdRRl-JpTQc

 

I’ve got the same thing on my 2021 TRDOR with 3k miles. Where exactly is this bushing, I wanna check mine.

 

Having this issue on my 2021 with 4800 miles. I thought it was the UCA bushings but after researching and reading this thread I would bet it’s the bumper mounts.

 

or just pull the bolt and lube it with some white lithium grease or NGLI #2 and that rubber will last a long time

 

I wish that was a fix, but given the time that it takes to get access, folks might as well swap the parts. Mine was making noise from about 30k. I finally swapped them at 50k.



If folks are sticking with Toyota parts, I would say to bath them in grease like you are saying. It might help keep the frame from cutting the sleeves?

 

Glad I stumbled across this thread. I’m having this same sound exactly as described by others and racked my brain combing through the suspension trying to find it!

I’ll consider myself lucky though, 08 TRD with 150k and barely experiencing this issue. Hybrid bumper allows for easy access too

 

I need help asap I can't get the hole lined up any suggestions????

 

The drivers side may not line up exactly, you'll have to use some kind of pry bar to get it to seat, just be careful.

 

Thanks It was the driver's side, I'll give it a try tomorrow again. It's dark now.

 

Does anyone have a link for a complete set of bushings for all body mounts on 3rd Gen Tacoma? I believe all
My mounts are bad. I can feel the noise from
Under my left Foot driver side cab mount I just replaced every single suspension component and I still have this aggravating noise everyone describes.
