    Hello, first post on here so please go easy on me.

    My 2023 Tacoma sport has been making this god awful creaking noise from the front end.

    It could be heard mostly when rolling off my driveway, over speed bumps and over separations in the road at speed (good ol’ Canadian roads)

    It has been to the dealership 5 days now and they are not able to pinpoint the issue.

    Has anyone had this issue or is anyone familiar with this sound?

    here’s a link to YouTube, I couldn’t figure out how to upload the video

    I have the same “click” when the shock compresses after a speed pump or drive way. Except for that little growl you have after the click.

    my tire/suspension shop says it’s the shock and it’s normal. :confused:

    I occasionally get the Clink-Clank coming from the front-left when I go over speed bumps a hair too fast,
    or even turning left into a street with a water-runoff-dip. I think someone here somewhere replaced some
    bolt in some location that took care of it.

    If ya'll can re-call or find that thread I'd like to review it and have my Toyo-Dudes replace that bolt as I'm coming
    up on an oil change soon.

    That’s funny. Mine does the exact same thing. Wheel hasn’t fallen off for 6 years so I figured it’s not a big deal.

    My rig squeaks and stuff. If it ain’t broke don’t fix. Something falls off well that’s a different story.
