HI SCOTTY!!!!!!!!!
Last year I bought a 2022 SR5 Toyota Tacoma. It's my first truck, and I use it for what I consider "real work" I will drive it into my lawn and around my property to distribute woodchips and pull fallen trees and rocks out of my woods. About 2 months ago or so I foolishly washed the undercarriage. because y'know pocono salt on the roads and yeah..... I thought I was doing the right thing.....Well, it started squeaking🙃 .... I told the dealer, when I brought it in for the oil change, I thought you couldn't miss the squeak. "We couldn't hear any squeaking." 😤 Ya'll must be DEAF or not wearing your OSHA hearing protection 🤣 I drove around and it only got worse and worse. I asked the robot overlord (ai) what I did to it, aparently I removed grease I wasn't even aware of. I bought surface shield from pb blaster, got on my skateboard and WOW WOW WOW how much rust we have us here. 😱 I sprayed ALL the rust I saw. Used a whole can, I got every part of the undercarriage I could see on my back rolling around under it. Screeching now is just a squeak when turning to the left. My wife got the dealer to take a serious look at it. They made an inspection video, and they showed there was a metal part that got bent and was rubbing on something, probably when I did my Real Work. 😬 How do I find that piece to put it back in the right place? They said they fixed it but the squeak is still there. It's ONLY when you turn left. It doesn't happen when you're just sitting there so it's a non-moving part pressing against a moving part, but I know nothing about cars.
I'd like to be able to fix it myself rather than taking it to the dealer like uhm i [expletive deleted] up my truck again pls fix it for me
Love your videos, hope you're having a good week, stay safe.
Thank you so much for your time and help!!!!!!!
