    From the front end i believe . I only hear it at very low speed windows up or down . Very noticable gong up my drive way at 2 mph. I don't think its a big issue . Had the dealer look at it, said all if fine ! On the hoist and test drive. My old Dodge off road 2004 was silent when I had it Btw I have 6000 miles on my tundra no trauma to the truck bought it new. Any feed back ? Thank you George

    Abs check? TRD skid plate? Bed creaking? (as some have reported lately.)

    I had a creak as well and it creaked every time I made a right turn or articulate the wheels to the right or go up a curb etc. The tech found that it was the brake lines rubbing against the fire wall (after going through everything from suspension to interior) and has insulated it, no more creaking noise. It drove me crazy! no more creaks and it's been 3 weeks now.

    I'm not sure what he did and I didn't bother to look but it's been a nice ride since then, enjoying it once more.

    You get a free alignment check and adjustment within 12 months, 12k miles. Get that checked, maybe they will see something. Also, my wheels were out of balance, from the factory. Shit happens. Maybe a zerk fitting needs grease on yours or something lame.

    Take the front sway bar off to confirm. If the noise goes away, you’ve narrowed it down for sure.

    Thought of that. But I like the bar, what can I do to fix it while off ? Put new bushing lube on ? only has 6000 miles I'm thinking at the factory they didn't lube it when putting it on. For what read members who put their own on, kit provides lube !

    I was only saying to do it temporarily to help you narrow down the noise. I like my sway bars as well. When you reinstall it, I’m sure you will be able to tell if you did it right. Add some silicone grease or something safe for bushings.
