    I'm hearing a squeak every time I hit a bump. Shocks?

    I have the same issue. I think its the leaf springs. I saw on here that putting a cut up bike inner tube between the leaf springs helps. I did that, but they just wore down after a while and didn't do anything. I think I am just going to have to get a new leaf pack.

    Cool thank you. I searched for threads about it, but Tapatalk search must be different from the actual forum search. I can never find anything.

    Hey Everyone,
    Not sure if this is the same noise as you all, but I have been hearing a squeak when ever I go over a bump in my 2013 Tacoma, it sounds very similar to the issue discussed here. I have had my truck at the dealer three times so far, the last time being this morning. They replaced this and that including greasing the leaf springs and replacing my rear shocks this morning.. but you can understand my frustration that as soon as I hit a bump on the way home.... Squeak!! As soon as I got home I crawled under my truck just to see if I could find the soruce of the squeak, like I have done several times in the past. Just as I was about to abandon my search yet again, I hit the spare tire.... Squeak! More hitting and shaking produced the exact same squeaks I have been hearing for months. So I lower the spare tire and take a look at the lowering system.. which is nice and rusted. Not having a grease gun handy, I just used some motor oil and a brush to lube everything up. I cranked the tire back into place and went to find me some bumps. And just like that the squeaks are gone, I'll be getting a grease gun tomorrow so the lube job lasts. Hope this helps you guys.

    Cool I'll check that out. I haven't really done anything with it. No time lately.

    You're right! I kicked the spare and there's the squeak.
