I just bought a 96 toyota tacoma with a lift kit. i dont know much about them but it make a teriable skweeking noise whenever i go over any bump. what i need to do is strap myself to the side of the truck and look and listen but seems risky and i cant drive the truck at the same time. anyone know where to start eliminating the skweeks?
thanks

please post in the correct subforum. did you try searching? search "suspension squeak" or something similar to that

Can you tell if it is the front or the back squeaking?

I would try jacking the wheels, one by one, to see if you can duplicate the squeak.

JGM

When was the lift put in? What type of lift is it? That info would help out a lot.

i dont know if i should keep posting in this section or not but i want to reply the questions.
i dont know anything about the lift kit or when it was put in. i kno that both front and rear squeek but dont know if it is a right or left sided problem. i can go with the suggestion of jacking each wheel up and trying to reproduce the sound. sorry, i am just a novice so i cant really provide the specifics

take some pictures so we can tell you what you have, and maybe help you with your problem, there are too many lifts out there just to guess.

sounds like a bushings problem.

my buddies Lifted xterra has the same squeek problem, all he did was replace the bushings.

thats my sugjestion.

Yeah, pics of your lift would help tremendously.

lol, replacing the bushings is no easy undertaking.

lee

yeah i bet its the swaybar bushings

If it is an older revtek lift, they squeaked like hell.
