2009 Clank pop after installed 3 inch Toytec lift install HELPP

i have a 2009 2wheel drive not 4x4 with 3 inch toytec lift installed with the Denver AAL in the rear and a noticed since day one that this clank noise when rolling around 5 mph down the drive way and and when i am in reverse backing up ( mostly when backing up !!! ) i cant locate where its coming from . sounds like the front and sometime the back when in reverse . any ideas or came into contact with these problems . i even intstaled the drop kit for the carrier bearing <- toytec said that's what the problem and it is still making the sound !!! any help please ! open to any comments ! and do you think it could something to do with when i got my front end alignment???? - Blake

 

kinda have the same issue...

 

its going to drive me nuts and i cant get an answer . i hope its not my tie rods or something serious ! _ i even tried finding it on the internet and cant find crap.

 

I've read that its the lower control arm bushings

 

Maybe your wheels aren't torqued down enough and your rotors are shifting

 

Think it will premature wear to the lower control arm bushings ?
and ill prob check the tires BC i didn't put them on when i got my tires installed .
the sound almost seems like it happens more and more since day one !

 

Also is your sway bar relocate installed properly?

 

hell if I know i didn't put the lift on lol I took it to so called " professionals " and I dont think I have a sway bar i though that was for 4WD ?

 

sway bar

 

Did you install new upper controll arms?

 

Bingo, I have the same thing, but I don't like sway so idc.

 

How loud is it? I had a really loud clanging and popping noise and it turned out to be a heat shield rubbing. I had one come loose around the front discs and another that was rubbing the rear drive shaft. I had to bend the front one back into place and the rear one just needed to be tightened.

 

axle wrap ?

 

its sometimes go " clank.. clank " not just a single popping clank and i know nothing is in my tires BC i watched them take all of my TPMS out so nothing is in the tires . im going to try some of these tips and ill update i gotta change the oil in the yota .

 

I have the same problem with the Toytec 3" Ultimate Kit. I get the popping and clanking a lot when going in reverse and turning, and going over small bumps when driving. I kinda feel a small bump in the steering but I still suspect it is my sway bar links because I had Toyota replace the intermediate steering shaft about a year ago.

 

I also installed the relocates which eliminated my sway bar rubbing on the coils. But now have this sound. In between the 6 - 7 second mark in the video. Turning far to left usually.

Relocates are installed correctly. Will post pic later to confirm.

Any ideas what this noise is?

 

omg. i just put some 1 1/2" lift blocks on my rear axle last week and the SAME EXACT "clank" noise happens when I back out of the driveway. just on the passenger side though.

and then i never hear it again until the next morning when i back out again. its driving me crazy

 

I'm about to put on my toytec ULK on in a couple days. is this noise serious? has anyone figured out a way to get rid of the noise or what it could be? i'll be putting the kit on an 09 double cab 4x4

 

Sorry if I'm replying on an old topic, but I have the EXACT same noise coming from my 09 taco when I'm doing the same thing your doing in the video. Did you ever figure out what it was? I checked my CA bolts, sway bar bushings, and everything I can think of.

 

Did you put new longer shocks in the rear? If not; the stock ones are topping out.
