    Hi All!

    I have a new to me '16 TRD Pro with ~60K miles on it. I seem to have a creaky noise coming from the truck and I am looking for some tips on how to pinpoint it.

    Here's what I've noticed so far:
    • Creaks when going over bumps
    • I notice it more when turning but it seems to happen over any bump at all even if I'm going straight.
    • Very easy to notice when I'm backing up onto my driveway.
    • If I sit in the driveway with the truck in park and move the wheel all the way to the left then all the way to the right, I can sometimes get a creak. It does not happen consistently or at the same spot. But if I go left to right 3 out of 5 times I'll get that creak.
    Here is a video of the sound:

    Any ideas where this might be coming from?

    Figured it out! It was a combination of the skid plate and cat shield. Added rubber washers/bushings at all mounting points and all good now.

    Skid plate I bet. I lined mine with foam and or rubber at all contact points to the frame.

    edit : I see you found it. Congrats !
