    When mine were squeaking I couldn't tell just where the noise was coming from. Had it continued (or if it starts again) I'd get some help to push on the bumper while I crawl under to isolate the location. So far, so good.

    My 2013 has the squeaks on the front suspension. It is super annoying and the dealership is also telling me that they cannot hear it. I will be taking them for a test drive at my next service. Anyone else have the front end squeaky suspension?

    I do, mostly on the passenger side. I had it back to the dealer for it once and they said no issue found, it squeaks over every bump or when the body leans. My 3 leaf pack used to squeak bad but now my TSB pack is quiet for now,

    I work in project management for a heavy highway construction company and my Taco drives through rutted subgrade nearly every day. It is embarrassing driving up to the construction trailer every morning with the suspension sounding like a 20 year old motel box spring... :frusty:

    I agree with you on that, I have been under the thing multiple times moving parts rocking back and forth and cannot figure out what the issue is. I almost want to say it is the shock causing the squeak.

    I just had my frame replaced on my 2005 and the new leaf spring shackles make a lot of noise where the bolts go through. If I spray them with white lube it will go away for a little while. As soon as I can I will get under there and see if the shackle bolts are to tight or to loose.

    Thanks for the info, I didn't re torque the u bolts yet but no luck with the shackles. The noise seems to be coming from the shackles still and if you push down on the bumper the spring wont return to it's original position...
