    So there’s something that I can’t figure out with my 4R. There are times when I am making a turn after coming to a stop and I hear this squeaking coming from somewhere. And it’s only after coming to a complete stop. Especially when trying to make say a semi sharp Uturn. Any suggestions before I take to to the Toyota dealership to have it checked out? This was happening before and half installing my lift on it and still stock tires.

    Tough to say. Could be a lot of things.

    I can guarantee you that the dealership will blame it on the aftermarket suspension. I wouldn't even try going through them, tbh. Waste of time.

    Get a friend out there and try to replicate the noise while they are standing outside the vehicle. They'll have a better vantage point on where it's coming from. If you think you've narrowed down the area, spray some WD40 on it to see if that helps.

    I've always had great results from white lithium grease and suspension squeaks, if you can find the source.

    Mine started doing that about a month ago, and it drove me nut. I had my 25,000 mile service last week and did discuss it with the advisor. He told the mechanic to check it, but they said it was fine. I still can’t believe how could they say it was fine when the noise clearly exists.
