Squeaking noise from wheel well when going over bumps

High pitch squeaking noise coming from wheel well when going over bumps. Truck has 36k miles. Stock everything SR5 except trd pro wheels. Comes from drivers side only from what I’ve noticed.

 

Look in the wheel well and look for rubbing. If it is all stock except the Pro wheels, it shouldn't be rubbing, but worth a look. Turn the wheel in the direction you hear the noise and put the tire up on the curb and check.

Did the noise start after the rim change? What size tires? Stock?

 

Could be so many things. Literally dozens of things could be squeaking.

 

Leaf springs ?….maybe

 

Could be bushings?

 

Have a fat friend jump in the bed while you look for what's squeaking

 

its coming from the drivers front wheel well. I have potholes in the area so I’m sure that something got messed up from that

 

Look at and inspect your cv axle, sway bar bushings, ball joints upper and lower. How does your shock look? Sounds like you have something loose or a bushing is going. Can you replicate the sound by pushing on the front of the truck or rocking the truck? Is your battery mounted down tight? The sound could be echoing in the wheel well so I would also check your engine bay

Get some lithium grease and start spraying bushings. My leafs get bad sometimes even when the truck is clean and I spray some of this in there and it stays silent for a very long time before I have to do it again

 

Are the sr5 and pro wheels using the same offset? As in when the tire goes up and down the tire is not rubbing on the control arm or spring?

 

Take it out wheeling. Solves everything

 

Did you ever figure out what it was? I have the same issue lol

 

Check your skid plate!
I have an SR5 Tacoma with 36k miles and a bolt on the passenger side of my skid plate was loose, giving it some play and making an awful squeak! Hope this helps!
