anybody know wtf this noise is?

pretty sure its drivers side only. only happens full lock.

im running a 3" procomp lift with 265s.

hear it on drivers side when locked in either direction

 

Squirrel in the axle? I would say something with CV but not sure..sounds like something hitting something metal lol

 

damn that doesn't sound good. . . though i couldn't tell you what it is

 

sounds like somebody's banging on a metal bowl with a stick haha.

 

btw im in 2 wheel drive here as well...have not tested to see if it goes away on 4x4

 

Yea like a squirrel behind the wheel with a hammer...LOL

Maybe also check to make sure all the bolts on suspension are correctly tight?

 

i had the same noise with my stock rims and a 3" ome lift.. it was the inner clip ( tire pressure sensor i think)on the rim hitting the lower control arm.. wheel spacers or better back spacing is required.

 

Check your wheel balancing weights to see if they are rubbing your sway bar. I had that problem on mine.

 

Sounds like my old cv did, replaced it and the sound went away

 

theres a little play....on both sides actually...they are pretty equal with the ammount of play they have.



and yes i know the video looks extremely awkward ahahah.. fap fap

 

yes, please stop posting videos of you wiggling your shaft around.

 

I was having a similar problem, so I asked my mechanic what was causing the popping sound and he told me it's the turn stop located here:


You see where the metal is rubbing on the turn stop (circled in the midde)? Put some grease there and see if the sound goes away, it worked for me.

bump

 

Reason I don't own a 2nd gen tacoma...


I watched all the videos and I don't have the slightest clue... I don't think it's a front axle... Take it to toyota and let them check it out.

EDIT: The noise only comes from your drivers side?

 

did it just suddenly happen? or could something have caused it?
