Front End Squeak
I have an '02 4Runner (SR5 4x4) with Swayaway's in the front and lately I've been noticing (and so has everybody else) a squeak coming from my front end. When I brought my 4Runner to the Toyota dealer they said it was coming from the front right shock. However, when I brought it somewhere else for a 2nd opinion, they said it was the upper ball joint that needs to be replaced. Is there a way to determine who is right here? The front end squeaks whenever I'm driving over anything other than a flat surface. The dealer wants $222.00 to replace the upper ball joint. What do you guys think???

does it squeak if you have a friend rock your runner side to side? if so, try to listen and pinpoint it if possible

I know that there was a factory recall on some Tacomas for this problem. Probably is on your year Runner too. The dealer can run your vehicles VIN# and tell you if it applies to yours.
