    Hey everyone,
    I have a 2021 trd pro and work in southeast NM.
    The other day I started to hear a creaking sound from the front right tire. I removed a rock from near the dust guard and used a air compressor to spray out the rotor and brake area. After that, I drove it and there is still a consistent creaking coming from the front right side. It is consistent with tire rotation and gets faster with acceleration. The sound does not increase when turning or when stopped.
    I looked under the truck and everything is tight (heat shields, drive shaft, etc).
    Y'all have any ideas?

    Maybe the dust shield behind the rotor is bent?

    2021? Let the dealer figure it out.

    If it's too far to a dealer, jack the front wheel just off the ground, place a jack stand, and slowly turn the wheel to reproduce the "creak". Eye-ball all rotating components and points of stationary interface to see where in the wheel rotation the noise is occuring. Then, closely inspect the area to identify exactly where/when/what is causing the noise. Exactly what the technician would do.

    Yep, get that corner off the ground and give the wheel/tire a good spin. Will be easy to pinpoint when you’re eyeball to eyeball with it.

    Make sure your wheel nuts are correctly torqued, and get it to your dealer unless it’s been modified.
