    3inch lift. Running 285/55 R20
    Hi there! I have a terrible creaky sound coming from my front driver side wheel area. It happens at slow and fast speeds.

    For reference, I have a ‘17 4Runner SR5 with a three inch lift. Currently running 285/55R20 on 20 inch wheels. I have had to replace a lower ball joint on this side as well. I have upgraded my upper control arms as well hoping that would help (the dealership left the stock ones when I got the lift and wheels installed). But the problem persists.

    wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Are my wheels too big and causing the issue?

    You better check your ball joints. I had the same terrible squeaking sound and it's a warning. My lower ball joint broke, luckily I was going very slow.
    Fixed both bail joints and then 2 weeks later, my strut snapped in half because of the stress of the ball joint breaking. Get it fixed quickly
