My 2014 Taco baja package does it also. It's so darn annoying! Glad I came across this video and hopefully i can get it taken care of. On my 99 Taco I sprayed down the entire rear suspension, trying to eliminate the problem and it worked but I couldn't pinpoint the source. Thanks for sharing.
Thank god this noise has been driving me crazy I bought a brand new trd sport 2015 and it started squeaking within 10,000 miles and its embarrassing when you pull up beside someone with a squeaking truck.
Thanks for this video. Thought I was driving a horse carriage from the 1800s. Had my tires replaced recently and the spare needed some tightening. Problem solved.
Same issue - Toyota dealer mechanic said the leaf springs are still good on the 2014 tacoma but it's the pads that are wearing. For 2014 Toyota doesn't just sell the pad part but you have to replace the entire leaf spring - in my case it's both sides they say ( although I hear it on one side) and it's a $1600 - fix for a squeaky spring. Crazy that Toyota sells the pads separate for only certain years. Apparently the labor to replace leaf springs is approximately 3.5-4 hours
My 2017 TRD Offroad Tacoma had a problem with squeaking with the OEM suspension kit. The same happened when I installed King suspension with Icon upper control arms and Icon leaf springs. The more you go off-roading and pressure wash underneath the more it will squeak. To fix problem just use silicon spray on all rubber bushings or other parts connected to suspension and use white lithium spray on leaf springs. I used WD-40 Specialist Silicon and WD-40 White lithium.
Just lubed my friction pads. The 2 near the cab... Left and right are really thin. They seem worn and do most of the work. They sit between the spring. They are round.
The squeaky noise is the leaf spring silencers it not sold by toyota for this particular truck but they do sell for other that work part no 48252-26070 it not hard to change.
The most common LOUD squeak from leaf springs is the problem I have. The friction pads (4) at the ends of the shorter leafs are worn away allowing for a very heavy metal to metal contact. Get the new pads installed--end of problem. 2013 tacoma.
@@drz400s8 My local independent toyota shop can order these. Toyota won't sell them to the public. Dealer told me I had to buy new leafs for 1800 dollars.
i have a 2019 trd pro so far im dealing with a uca pivot joint squeak and the leaf spring i think has started this week when i back out of my driveway 3,000k miles on my truck smh
So curiously, what did you do to fix the problem? Also, I didn't hear any squeaking in your video at any point to indicate that just wiggling the plastic spacer did anything to eliminate a squeak.
I'm dealing with an ANNOYING squeak from my driver's side leaf spring. So bad that when I'm driving through parking lots with bumps it is loud. I figured it was the front bushing but now I'm not so sure.
buy a can of WD-40 spray to them every oil change if you lived in a place like Arizona hot aboout 100 degree F in summer.......If you lazy like me then ..using automotive GREASE...will take care that squeaky noise...try it and let me know
That noise is nothing compared to the leaf spring squeak my Mitsubishi Triton (L200) makes. If mine was like yours I would be happy. Lucky mine is a Mitsubishi 2.5 Turbo Diesel because their motors are rattly and louder than a Massey Ferguson Tractor, so I can't hear it when I'm driving. But if I was parked & decided to throw the leg with the missus the whole world would know what was going on.
My 2010 does the same thing and it's embarrassing. I had a 2001 OLD Nissan truck that never made any noise and even played in the mud. This 2010 has yet to go off-road, has new replacement springs by Toyota and sounds like crap!
I have this problem and just spray down both leaf springs with some penetrating lubricant spray, after driving around for a little bit the creaking is completely gone
By the way, I'm pretty sure you found out, but I just spray WD-40 into the problem area and it does a good "temporary" fix. Unfortunately, it comes back after a while. Thanks
install the grease nipple then grease them ( Old school) ... Why ? because you drive the truck...Trucks are water buffalo..they work and work and work then need that kind of service are NORMAL...If you do not like the noise of the truck then buy a Mercedes...Now different stories OK
@@stevenrandall2361 I have been driving my 1985 Toyota 4runner SR5 5 speed on a daily basis. ZERO rust and ZERO problems, 38 years old and gets 22 mpg using PURE gasoline, no E10 crap!!oil changes at 3k mile intervals using 10-30wt oil.
Found it! It's the bottom spring next to the front bushing, I just put a piece of plastic in between the springs and it's all good!

Awesome , just bought a used 2014 and for what I paid this noise has had me pulling my hair out , going to blast it with grease ASAP
Great Video. Thank you

These were recalled! Fixed my issue! Call your dealershit!
I didn't see you solve the problem, what did you do?

That's how mine started too, soft squeak squeak squeak. Now it', SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??? WELL CAN YOU??? I KNOW YOU CAN!!!

T Hoang my 07 TRD Off Road does too. It’s so embarrassing.
What's the best way to pry the springs apart to do this? I just ordered the inserts to replace my worn out ones.

I have a Tacoma 2016 less than 30,000 miles and have a similar problem
My tundra does the same thing after I’ve taken it off road gotten it super muddy and driven through a swamp.
Did you fix it?
i have a 2019 trd pro so far im dealing with a uca pivot joint squeak and the leaf spring i think has started this week when i back out of my driveway 3,000k miles on my truck smh
Wasn't yours on recall list? Mine was. Toyota replaced for free

My 2016 has the same thing haha yay!
MaxH same here did you fix the squeak haha
MaxH mine 2016 has the same squeaky noise
My 2017 just started squeaking a few days ago. I’m gonna take it over to the dealer one of these days since I have an extended warranty

they have 4 recalls call the dealer they haveto fix the problems
I own a 2019 tacoma sr5 crew cab. the noise is coming from the front and it sounds so bad when driving.
It’s from water and dirt spray with lithium grease
My 2010 does the same thing and it's embarrassing. I had a 2001 OLD Nissan truck that never made any noise and even played in the mud. This 2010 has yet to go off-road, has new replacement springs by Toyota and sounds like crap!
Yup, my 2010 had the TSB done from Toyota and it still squeaks like crazy.
I have this problem and just spray down both leaf springs with some penetrating lubricant spray, after driving around for a little bit the creaking is completely gone
Do not use WD-40 as it will dry out. Spray oil is sold in aerosol cans. Makes for easier and quicker coverage of noisy leaf springs.
@@yettimannettii2039 the penetrating lubricant i am using is not WD40
That wasn't my problem. My squeak was where the end of the middle spring meets up with the end of the main spring
2006 tacoma is the same way is there a recall on them??
John Lewis yep a while ago. My dad got a letter like a year ago and got it fixed. Hasn’t made a noise since
Yes
My 06 was squeaking got the recall done squeak can back and the say it’s in the front now so its on me.
My 2021 tacoma has began to quietly squeak with only 5k miles on it
Replace the friction pads
Same exact noice in my Tacoma 2015
Have same issue with 2016 Silverado
Oh man, Like yours specifically, or many of them have it?
Did you ever fix yours impala5point3?
By the way, I'm pretty sure you found out, but I just spray WD-40 into the problem area and it does a good "temporary" fix. Unfortunately, it comes back after a while. Thanks

That's because WD-40 evaporates.
I had that same problem, so i sold it and got a brand new one :) end of story.
Where is $$$ ??? give me gun and bullets go to rob the bank or what?
lol, just get new bushings, 30 bucks most
hi hi hi...I can do that
I got brand new.. 6K miles after same issue!
Toyota QUALITY tanked since 2004... I am done with Toyota trucks, had 3 2nd gens 2007, 2012 and 2015, all TRD offroad packages....
Lets us know how those other trucks treat ya 😂
