Suspension squeaks and creaks

Yo folks. After a pretty rough trail run, my suspension and steering squeaks and creaks over slow, bumpy terrain. Anyone have ideas on where to lubricate or check for loose connections?

 

There aren't any suspension components to lubricate unless your removing and replacing parts. The Tundra frame is a C-channel aft of the engine and tends to flex the frame and body a decent amount. You could always check the bolts on the coilovers, leaf springs, and rear shocks but this truck will always make some noise as you go down the trail.

 

Ok, I understand that. What I’m wondering is that it didn’t make any noise coming up and down my dirt driveway before, but now it makes all types of noise, even while maneuvering into a parking spot.

 

Once in a while I have to spray out in between the leaf springs. I'll get some gnarly squeaking and creaking if crud gets in there.

 

You mean with a pressure washer?

 

Yes, hitting it with the pressure washer does the trick. But when I was looking for the noise the first time I found it by blasting in between the leaf springs with some spray lubricant, this also made the noise go away. It's happened a few times over the years but not very frequently and not every time I'm in the dirt, which is often.

 

Gotcha. Ok, thanks. I’ll give this a shot.

 

If you get under the rear wheel well and really rock the truck up and down you should be able to hear it if that's your issue. I'd do it to all 4 corners and see if you get any noise

 

Ok will do in the morning to check more closely.

 

I’ve been chasing a divers side creak I guess is a good describing word. I’m going to check the leafs as well. Only seems to happen first thing in the morning backing over the bump in the driveway

 

Uniballs? - clean, dry and lube

Leafs? - pressure wash, lube and make sure the isolator pads are there

 

Ok. Will check. Thanks!
