    Hello everyone, first post on here and I was hoping someone would be able to help me out. I have a 2019 Tacoma off road which is stock except for new tires. Over the last week or so I’ve noticed a squeaking or chirping coming from somewhere beneath the truck and I’ve been unable to pinpoint it. It only happens between 50-75mph and can really only be heard when I’m driving next to another car or against a wall. Any ideas as to what this could be would be extremely helpful, thanks!

    Check to make sure that your spare tire is up tight?

    If you can pinpoint if its coming from the front or rear that could help diagnose. Could be your rear leaf pack also

    Just went out to check the spare, it seems to be tight. Unfortunately I can’t really say, I’m thinking it’s the front but I can’t be entirely sure. I’ve heard carrier bearings or u joints could be the culprit but given how new the truck is and doing a visual inspection on these components they seem to be doing ok. I’m bringing the truck in for an alignment on Wednesday, would a misalignment with new tires cause this sort of issue do you think?

    Check to see if your skid plate is not rubbing against something. I had an annoying squeak that turned out to be damaged skid plate rubbing on itself.
