#219 of 598 Weird skid on 04 tundra by pathy04 Oct 04, 2004 (6:20 pm)
I am driving my new 04 SR5 TRD Tundra for about a month   On one rainy day when i made a left turn a light the vehicle started skidding, i made almost two 100 degree turns before coming to a stop. Luckily there was no vehicles on either side of the road. It was so weird, as my wheels are fully wet and i had fully stopped on RED before the signal turned Green after about 2-3 minutes i could have not gone beyond 25 mph or so. My Tundra has a LSD (not an Auto-LSD with a switch)   Are there problems with Tundra breaks or possible LSD issues   Not gone to the dealer yet. Any input is much appreciated   Thanks Replies to this message: herbie1 (Oct 05, 2004 4:37 pm) pathy04 (Oct 06, 2004 3:28 pm) 04doubletundra (Oct 20, 2004 10:12 am) tsj (Jun 22, 2005 11:13 am)

Replying to: pathy04 (Oct 04, 2004 6:20 pm) Don't discount road conditions in the spot that you skidded. One time I hit an large oil patch on my motorcycle. The oil layer was very thin and not noticeable. Luckily I was going only about 10mph through this turn. I barely kept the back wheel from sliding out from under me. There was a car right behind me.   I have an 03 Tundra Access Cab, 4wd, LSD and no TRD. I have not noticed any spinout problems that are any different from any other pickup or van that I have driven. But I also don't push it very hard. If you are inclined to do so, you may try to repeat this problem in a safe parking lot somewhere.   Good Luck.

Replying to: herbie1 (Oct 05, 2004 4:37 pm) okay, it might be the oil spill.   as long as others did not experience this problem, clarifies the fact that it is NOT Tundra issue likely   will installing a rear sway bar be effective, will it interfere with LSD?   Thanks

Replying to: aranda35 (Sep 30, 2004 8:27 am) I have a 2004 DC since March and have been back and forth to dealer. They replaced my rear shocks about 3 weeks ago. Squeak or as we like to call it "chirp" went away for about two days, then returned, less pronounced, but still there. Hope Toyota solves this one some day. I understand from research, problem has been reported back to 2001 models.

Replying to: herbie1 (Sep 24, 2004 5:36 pm) I have a 2000 4by4 6 cylinder Tundra bought March 2004 with 114,000 km. I greased all of my grease fittings on all the drive shafts and universal joints, but then I got the same squeaking noise you have. The problem was with the rear universal joints which I replaced. Ta da! No more probs. Luv my Tundra. Replies to this message: herbie1 (Oct 17, 2004 7:13 am) slawdog (May 19, 2005 1:21 pm)

Replying to: tundra (Oct 16, 2004 7:34 pm) Thanks for the update! I think this will help alot of frustrated Tundra owners who are irritated by this stupid little 'chirp.' I probably won't get to taking my truck in for a few months, but I will update everyone when I do. I'm glad you fixed your problem. Also, Luv my Tundra too.

#226 of 598 Tundra Rear Suspension Squeak (chirp) by sludaddy Oct 22, 2004 (9:12 am)
Yesterday, the dealer replaced my rear shocks (my fourth visit). The squeak is gone (for now). I hope it stays that way. The one thing that the dealer kept trying to tell me is that this was a problem that was unique to my particular truck. I told him of others that I had found with similar issues caused by defective shocks. It was only after my fourth visit and a refusal to have any lubing of the parts done that they went along with trying shock replacement Replies to this message: jv312 (Oct 22, 2004 11:37 am)

Replying to: sludaddy (Oct 22, 2004 9:12 am) over at tundra solutions, their was a post about the 04 rear squeak. Here's quote attributed to this member: Apparently there is a missing o-ring or gasket between the upper rear shock mounts and the shocks "washer". I removed my rear shocks from the frame and could see where the rubbing was taking place. The upper shock "washer" is in contact with the frame mount. The shock "washer" has a flange that "enters" and opening on the frame mount. It was clearly visible that this is where the rubbing occured. I just wrapped the flange with electrical tape to provide insulation and lubrication between the metal parts. This was his fix.
