Hey guys, I've got a 2014 GXL. Last week it's suspension started squeaking on the front passenger side (happened right after it's 20k service). After much hassling with the service department they 'fixed' the problem and told me the noise was caused by loose bolts in my suspension.
The noise came back a couple days ago and much worse but was now coming from the rear passenger wheel. After speaking with the service department again the manager told me that the squeak is from the suspension bushes, he said that when it rains water can get into the bushes and wash the lubrication oil out and cause it to squeak. He said it was a common problem but wasn't a saftey concern and it happens all the time after rain.
My question is, is this normal for a prado? Should I expect the suspension to be squeaking after every heavy rain or is the service manager just BSing me to keep me coming back to the dealership?
Any input is welcome guys.
Cheers,
Mike.
