Welp... for those following this post, I tried the lithium grease and gave it some time to soak in, but it's safe to say that didn't work, except it did quiet down for a short period but I'm fairly certain that was due to a shift in weather/humidity. Time to change out the LCAs. Does anyone here...

Well I seem to be exhausting all options, but this one. With KDSS I'm not sure I want to try this replacement on my own. Any idea what I should expect for cost on labor? I've read that Siberian Bushings are made of Poly and are relatively cheap: Amazon.com: Siberian Bushing Polyurethane Front...

Certainly worth a shot... unfortunately the noise most certainly comes from inside the wheel well.

I think I was unclear in my post. The vehicle is 4 years old. The shock upgrade only 1 year. I'll definitely consider replacement if/when I decide to replace the LCA bushings.

The lithium spray was certainly an inexpensive option at $7 to try first. Unfortunately, it has not worked -- yet -- I'll give it a day or so maybe the lube needs time to work itself in there.

Had a set of Icon Stage II shocks installed about a year ago. Lately, the front end developed a squeak and I hear it at varying noise levels -- going over speed bumps. Slowly backing out of the driveway. Slowly turning the wheel backing out of the drive way. I can even induce a squeak just by...

Yes -- see above -- added them to the post.

Thanks, Charlie. Feel like I went out of my way for shipping for the previous guy on this post, only to see him shop it for a better price.

Jim, so you know the true cost, here's an estimate I got from the UPS store: $81.52 per box. Forgot to mention my shop did save the boxes from the new wheels I bought so there's a little savings there, too

Yes, they are 17s. So we are aware of the potential shipping costs, I obtained some rough figures from UPS and FedEx. See below in the attached. They range from $27 per box, to $238.44 and $328.88 for all 4 boxes. I also need to pay for new boxes as the shop threw out the boxes that came with...

They are available, I just got them back from the shop today. What's your zip code?

Just came back from the dealer today after a SECOND visit just to complete a "30K" service for my 2016 Trail w/KDSS. Well... it turns out even dealers don’t know how to follow the owners manual. While at the register following the first visit for maintenance, I asked the Toyota Service Advisor...

Used TRD Pros I shopped private party last year for almost 5 months before I bought my used 2016 4Runner Trail, and found that all TRD Pros with limited miles (under 20K), were all priced over 42K. I opted to save the 10K and to get a 4Runner with KDSS. I think that's the better value, unless...
