    I had a toytec lift put on my 2012 Tacoma and everything is good except that it’smaking a noise that sounds like it’s comingfrom the drivers side front. It quits if I goaround a right hand curve. Doesn’t quit on left hand turns. Any ideas? ThanksDB1867D1-653C-49A3-93F3-7E0A47D4B00A.jpg

    Put in 4 Wheel drive. If it goes away in thatconditions it's your needle bearing in the diff. ECGS upgrades.

    Could be a CV joint, cheaper to replace a whole axle.

    Sounds like it's your passengers side wheel bearing. When turning right, your unloading that side, and if the noise stops/quiets down, it's likely a wheel bearing on that side.

    Would putting a lift on cause that? Or maybe just a coincidence?

    Maybe a coincidence? Maybe it was on it's way out already? Not sure if the difference in front end geometry may have exacerbated something that was about to happen anyway? Bad wheel bearings are not uncommon with Taco's. I replaced at least one (maybe two) on mine.
