Why does my 2015 access cab sound like a 95 Subaru Legacy?

    I used to have an old legacy wagon that needed new ball joints. I swear that that thing was quieter than this truck. My 15 has 30K on it, 5100's all the way around and still creeks and rattles to high heaven. Any tips on how to shut this thing up?

    I don't know, they're not the quietest of vehicles but they're not unbearable loud I thought.

    Seeing as we have no information to go on, I'm going to say you've run over a bicyclist. If you'd stop and extract him from your truck the cops could arrest you, and all this noisiness would stop.

    true. half assed post to be sure. definitely not unbearably loud. i just mean that when driving it has a ton of odd rattles and creeks and stuff outside almost like like when driving through town with the windows down you can hear seriously what sounds like ball joints. ball joints are in good shape, nothing there. all the bolts on the truck are tight so that isn't it. inside, it's a truck not a damn cadillac. i'm not crying over that. just figured i'd pose the question here because there is a wealth of info on this site, and i was just wondering if it's a common issue that can be fixed by swapping out bolt X for this product.

    I am not an actual mechanic, but if you're lucky one will stop in at some point and show us all up with a simple answer out of nowhere. Like the car talk guys.

    Anecdotally though, I had a bad u-joint once that caused a lot of rattling. Otherwise, I have an old 4x4 regular cab, so it rattles and shakes and groans a lot even when it's been serviced like a king.

    My 15 is fairly quiet, except the AC switch panel rates every so often. Rear leafs have a slight squeak to them but I can't here it inside so I don't worry much about it.

    Absolutely, that's worked wonders thus far
