    Noticed the other day that my truck is squeaking when driving over bumps in the road or when I shut my door I can also hear it. Can’t pin point the exact location but will add a video of the sound when I shut my door. I recently got my lower ball joints replaced and my rear leaf springs which I know can squeak so those are out of the question. Has anyone experienced this sound or have any thoughts before I take it to my mechanic?

    Leaf springs can absolutely squeak.
    It so common that some manufactures even put them between the springs. Typically near the ends of the spring.

    And it's even "sometimes" common on the Tacoma.

    Start here.

    All said, I can't see how closing the door would make the leafs squeak. But bump....for sure.

    Just got new rear leaf spring, about a year old so I really don’t think it’s them and seems like it’s coming from the front rather than the back

    Strange.....
    Have looked to see if the front shocks show signs of wear or leaks?

    Might need a buddy to help rock the truck while you crawl around a listen.
    That's about the only way I've had luck with these type issues.
