![]() ![]() If you don't want every soccer mom, teenager, and feminine men whining about how their ball joint failed at 25k miles and Toyota is a piece of junk, then you better put the part in that requires no assistance from the owner. If I was going to build one of the most reliable brands ever (Toyota), and the engineers said, "hey, we can either put products in that are part plastic, part metal, but it basically self lubricates and lasts around 150k miles with no maintenance from the owner or we can put two metal pieces that require the operator to lubricate them every 5k miles or so, which do you want?". It made this noise also before the new coil-over and still after it was replaced, so its definitely not that. Its basically sharp quick short up travels of the suspension that causes it. On a smooth road, you do not hear it at all. Its just when you drive down a poorly paved road and there are pot holes or large cracks in the road and the faster you go, the more noticeable it is when you hit these imperfections in the road. if that makes sense.Īlso I've tried to see if it is suspension flexing or something like that, by articulating the front suspension through a ditch and on a oil change ramp, both allowing it to hang, and stuffing it up in the wheel well, and that doesn't cause any popping or anything. ![]() it sound like if you had maybe a 1/4" of slack between two heavy pieces of metal and hit a bump temporarily allowing the upper heavy part to separate from the lower part that 1/4" and then smack back together. It doesn't sound like something that has a large gap or distance smacking each other. I have had my buddy ride with me who is a mechanic and he said its clearly coming from the front passenger side, but he just looking around in there couldn't figure out where it coming from either. I am pretty sure its metal contacting metal. If anyone can think of anything else beside the parts I am ordering above that might cause this noise, please let me know. We have checked all bolts, nuts, etc to make sure everything is tight and even applied lock tight to everything over there. It sounds like something in the suspension is hitting metal on metal almost. This sound only happens on bumps or cracks in the road. If that does not fix it, the only thing left could be the front cv shaft, but I doubt its that because I have cracked and broke those before on my Tacoma back in the day and I know what they sound like. So this is what I am ordering:įront wheel bearing/race/inner & outer seals (Timken) This noise has annoyed me to the point I am about to replace any and everything I can think of on the passenger side. ![]() The truck has been moderately offroaded on the weekends (not rock crawling, more like trails), nothing too crazy, but with 33x11.50 A/T tires. At 76k miles the truck had the lower ball joints replaced by the dealership under a recall for the lower ball joints. ![]()
