Creaking noise slow speed-help

I have a creaking noise at slow speed when the suspension is compressed. I have Toytec Boss with heavy springs on front set at 2" with stock rear. I also have an Expedition One front bumper and a Fab Four rear bumper. I mention the bumpers because I notice the noise in situations when the frame may be torqued a little.

I am way out of town with no tools and no shop I know. Everything looks right and tight. I have about 20K and one year on all install. Any ideas? Anyone had this issue?

 

Hey @Over the LINE are these noises coming from the front end when going straight and hitting bumps? Or is it when you turn the wheel?

I think when the wheel is turned but it's possible with a straight wheel when only one wheel is articulating. I only notice at crawling speed. Not offroad but descent articulation.

 

Yes, 700

 

Message me a location and I'll see if you are near a shop we work with.

Now......that is Customer Service at it's best. Hell yeah.

 

Yes, it is. They did find a shop for me within a couple of hours.

 

That's Awesome! Hope you get it worked out and it's something simple.

 

Thanks Toytec!!!!!

I went to the shop Toytec found for me. Charlies Toyota in Augusta Maine. No BS about aftermarket parts. I had to test drive with mechanic and search for something other than flat parking lot to make it creak. They found "upper strut mount bolts" loose along with a couple of front bumper mount bolts loose. I still have a little noise but not as bad. The mechanic looked over the suspension and steering. I feel much better about my continued road trip. I'll try to figure out the other noise when I get home. I think it might be TRD Pro skid plate.

 

Glad those guys were able to get you taken care of and back on the road safely!!

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
