    I have a '23 Pro that has squeaked in the front since I bought it. I've taken it to my dealer 5 or 6 times for this issue. One time, they couldn't replicate the squeak, another time, they said it was a bushing somewhere on the driver side, which they had to order and then replaced on another visit. That didn't fix the squeak, which was getting pretty bad at that point. So the next visit they said it's a bushing in the driver side strut, which they had to order that and attempted to replace it on yet another visit. While attempting to replace the bushing on that visit, I was told they "ran into a problem". Supposedly 3 techs couldn't get the nut off the top of the strut in order to replace the bushing. They then deemed the strut as bad and unsafe and have ordered me two new struts, which should be here soon. So I'm now in a loaner '23 OR while my Pro sits on a rack until the struts come in. I don't know, man, I don't know...I'm losing confidence in Toyota. (I've mentioned the body mount as maybe the possible cause, but they said that's not the problem.)

    Took skid plate down on mine and greased all the
    I finally got around to taking the skid plate down. Applied fluid film and anti-seize to contact points. It’s still squeaking. I can only get the sound while driving, can’t reproduce bouncing the front fender because the suspension is too stiff. I feel like I will bend the fender if I really put my weight into it.
    Also. How do I check the front body mounts that have been suggested?

    Thanks in advance.
