    Hey all
    Have a '17 Tacoma TRD Sport. In October dealer installed 2" spacers and larger tires. Havent been offroad ever. Just recently, when reversing and putting into drive I hear a click sound. Not all times and it's only one click. Drives normal otherwise. Has anyone had such issues or suggestions on what it may be? Calling the dealer in the am to schedule someone to look. Hoping it's nothing major. Thanks!

    Look behind the wheel for a clothespin and playing card. Never mind, I was thinking of something else...

    It's most likely a tedious "brake click". Your front brake pads are shifting slightly in the caliper when you change directions at slow speeds and you hear an audible click. This is common when they are worn down but happens just prior to the wear sensor making contact with the rotor. "Possible" fix is to add a second set of retaining pins and clean and lube the caliper guide pins. Definite fix is to replace your brakes (although your current pads most likely still have some life left in them). Either way, it'll com back once the pads wear down again. Another charm of owning our trucks, but not a warning of impending damage.
