Trd Pro Suspension Failing

I just recently bought a used 2019 trd pro with 52k miles. Ive only put about a thousand and I’ve noticed that when I sit on the bed or cause the rear shocks to compress they creak rather bad. I decided to take it into toyota to get it checked out and they said struts are failing and because they aren’t broken that the warranty doesn’t cover it. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem or if there was a way to get warranty to cover them.

 

Might be your leafs or loose spare tire too.

 

Never heard of shocks creaking

 

50k is the average life for FOX shocks to be rebuilt.

same here lmao

 

That’s because you don’t work at a Toyota dealership.

 

Leafs. Or leaf liner or bushings.

 

I've had issues with creeking and clacking leafs on mine since one Adirondack winter. I've cleaned as best and Eastwood rust encapsulated them. Now I just spray lube every spring and use doughnut rubber insulators for the clacking. My shocks and struts are fine.

 

Thanks for the tag!
@leto146 If you’d like them rebuilt let me know. Cheaper than fox with a faster turn around time.

 

are they actually puking/leaking oil ? or just noisy?

 

Struts making noise on these trucks is a common occurrence.

 

They aren’t puking oil or anything just making a really bad squelching noise. I’ll go ahead and post a video so y’all can hear it.

 

Yup been there heard that without you even posting it

 

I just replaced both front shocks which were creaking at 4500km. It happens.

 

What did you end up having to do

 

What causes them to go bad. The dealership was saying the noise is caused by dirt getting inside the bushings. Is there a way to avoid that

 

Getting the struts replaced under warranty on my 17 and my 20 tacoma

 

The dealership told me that they would t be covered under warranty because they just make noise they aren’t broken

 

Total bullshit. Aren’t supposed to make noise.

 

That’s what I was thinking but they made it seem super common and I wasn’t sure. I wanted to post a video to show how bad it was but it’s not letting me upload anything
