    hi Guys!

    I have 4x4 2012 automatic doble cab tacoma TRD Sport Package with less than 10,000 miles and always, hitting speed bumps, a strong click sounds on 70-75% on suspension compression. It also sounds sometimes at the beginining of the bump, but commonly after passing.

    I was unable to see a mark or friction point in the suspension. This truck comes with blistein shocks from factory.

    It also seems that with the car cold, early morning, sound more

    Any idea about what's happening?

    Does this truck needs Molibden grease on front suspension? I could not see the grease points as I see it in my previous Hilux.

    Thanks
    PR

    Are you sure it's not the mud flaps hitting the bump? If you still have them on remove them before they decide to come loose and beat the hell out of the side of your truck.

    I used to get that all the time...never figured it out, but it went away after I upgraded to Bilstein 5100's. It also only came from the driver side front.

    Where was that rub mark located? Springs, control arms?
