Rear noise in 2008 SR5 Prerunner double cab with automatic transmission

I have an issue with a clanking/clicking noise in my 08 Tacoma RWD that I hope someone here can shed a light on. The noise usually happens when I'm slowing down to around 10-15 mph. It doesn't do it all the time when I'm in gear but I can get it to do it when I put the truck in neutral and coast. It sounds like a clicking sound coming from the rear. It's not a violent clicking sound but noticeable. Could this be a rear u-joint going bad?

 

Yes! I have the same problem. It's your U Joint. I have a broken seal and need it to get replaced. I hope your truck is under warranty.

 

an 08 Is probably out of warranty already. mine is. jhj7098 how many miles do you have on ur 08?

 

It's got about 105k. Turned out it was the U-joint. All is well now.

 

I haven't taking my truck in to get it replaced yet. What was done to yours?

 

I will keep that in mind I also have 104k on my 08. how much did it cost you to get it fixed?

 

The U-joint was about $24. Had some brake work done too. Total cost was about $175, including labor.

 

I got my truck back from the dealership today. They replaced the U joint and yoke. I was surprised it cost only $174 with parts and labors if I don't have the warranty. No more clunking and the Tacoma is happy
