    Help!!

    My Tacoma’s back end is making a noise that sounds like sneakers on a basketball court. Could it be the ball joints?

    Any input would help

    Thanks

    Don't think you've got ball joints on the 'back end.'
    (Could think of something really perverted, but I'll refrain)

    Gonna be hard to get a video right now. Seems whenever you load down the bed or go off reading it’s always the leaf springs. Started hearing the noise after a big haul Friday.

    It only makes the noise when I go over uneven pavement or speed bumps. Not when I turn/brake/accelerate.

    Check your spare. Could be loose and rubbing on parts under the bed.
