Toyota Tundra Forum

Well I took my stock 08 tundra trd off road. Nothing to crazy, just hit up some mud and some puddles. After I took her to the car wash the shocks sound sqeaky? Like if I go over a speed bumb, or even just shake the bed. What can cause this and is it serious? Once again, I just have the stock trd suspension

Might have gotten some dirt under the shock boots? I'm just guessing here. Is it in the front or the rear? Maybe it's just water between the rear springs allowing movement and squeaking noise?

Its just in the rear. Will it just go away?

If it's gone tomorrow, then yes. Any way to pinpoint it closer?

Not really, I didnt really look or hear for a certain spot. I just came out front to help the old lady with the groceries and I heard it sqeak when she went over the speed bumb? I then shook the bed and it sqeaked soem more. I look a little better tomorrow

Most likely it is sand and dirt between the leaf springs or the spring bracket bushings. I use to use Amsoil lubricant to clean all this stuff out after a day of fun.

I just love it when someone points out a new use for one of the Amsoil products--I assume you were using the MP Metal Protector, or maybe the Heavy Duty MP, spray lube? The regular MP is also reported to be a great gun lube to help prevent surface corrosion on firearms--a little goes a long way.

By the way, the Heavy Duty MP will work like a light grade undercoating because of the way it clings and dries. Doesn't attract much dust either.

For dry lube on rubber stripping seals or rubber bushings, we have a silicone spray lube too.
