The dreaded Tacoma door clunk

[freighter72]

Never heard of the dreaded "Clunk"

I have the dreaded "A-frame bushings squeaking"

102000 miles

I have been hearing a slight squeak that I cannot locate. I will have to crawl under and take a look. I know that the bushings are molded into these parts...... Is there anything that can be done to "quiet" them?

If no zerks, they need to be replaced. Its usually the body mount bushings that cause squeaks on a 3rd gen.

What causes squeaks and rattles on gen2?

 

[tacojoel]

All sorts of stuff, as they get older.

 

[JayQQ97]

the passenger seat (when unoccupied) has been rattling loosey goosey on that gen2 since near the very beginning

 

[tacojoel]

Idk, never owned a gen2 taco. My gen1 tundra was pretty rattle free till I sold it. Even my gen3 tacoma has been the same way....very solid, and rattle free.

 

[JayQQ97]

there will be many rattles and odd squeaks on the gen3 coming sooner later with as cheap as they are made

 

[tacojoel]

Well, it's been 4 years and the truck is still solid as when I took it off the dealers lot. If these roads here haven't cause a rattle issue by now they never will.

U must not have gotten one of those awful bad ones they were pumpin' out then

Made sure it was assembled in texas...didn't want a truck assembled by workers fueled on taco's, and mezcal.
