My truck got in a little fight with an irrigation ditch. Left with sqeaky front end.

Pretty much how the title goes. I got stuck in an irrigation ditch and when I finally got out of it I noticed a squeak in the front passenger tire. It squeaks when I go over bumps, bounce the truck, or even just turning the wheel. Could it be anything else besides a bent shock?

Also broke my jack getting it out, lol :/. (Don't ask, it just worked)
Anyone got an extra?!?

lol... check your swaybar endlinks and framemounts. Also jack both corners up (left/right front) one at a time (with a new jack) and check everything...

broke your jack.. lol, your stock one? how do you break that? unless you fill it full of mud and ruin it

That's alright - my wife thought it would be fun to back my 4runner into the house last week. House-1, 4runner-0
I guess now I can buy armor without her complaining

Welcome!

Not sure if it is the same jack, but Tofer has one from a 3rd Gen (97) 4Runner.

swaybar endlinks might squeak

also you might want to pop off your
front wheel, then the brake caliper and check for crud

dirt and crap wedged in the caliper can squeak as it rubs the disk

in fact it is always good to clean yer brakes out after adventures
