[TrdTacoma84]

Well i got my truck back from the body shop around a week ago now. And all of a sudden im starting to hear some pretty annoying squeals coming from my front end. What should i be looking at? Or should i take it back to the body shop... even though it had nothing to do with what they fixed....

Its annoying ill try to get some video....

slighty when i press the gas. I went over some rugged terrain and it does it pretty bad. Also when turning out of a drive way or parking spot. I also shoke the control arms and it squeaks as well.

Squeal or squeak (as in with suspension movement)? How about spraying a little grease on your bushings?

I had a really bad squeak after an alignment. It ended up being what I mentioned. Try sliding a piece of heavy paper or card stock between the swaybar and cup.

Had to slide the swaybar bracket forward to clear it on one side.

1. Take your skid plates off, both of them

2. Crank down on all of the bolts on the bumper supports.

3. Either tighten or remove the bumper extensions on the left and right sides.

4. Put your skids back on and make sure they are tight.

I found out that the squeak is coming from the right side. I sprayed all the bolts and its still there. Should i take the truck back to the body shop that repaired it or should i visit the shop that installed the lift? It sounds like the contoller arm...

Did you tighten all of those things I mentioned in my last post? I would do that before taking it back.

That is where I heard my noises, on the passenger side front. They are all gone now.

This is the noise i get....

[TrdTacoma84]

So ive done everything that you guys mentioned above. The creaking and squeaking is worse.... Anyone know what else i could do. I took it to the shop that installed the lift and they just sprayed all the moving parts told me to bring it back if it continues making noise.
