another front end noise thread

Yes i used Search and it provided alot of good stuff but not the thread i was looking for. I know its here i have read it before and now that I want to add to it, I cant find it. then went through the most recent 27 pages and realized that we are REALLY active here.

Having said that I have a poping sound in the front when I accelerate and when I brake. gas/brake needs to be enough to get some body movement otherwish if i just lightly gas/brake i get no poping Its a single pop. I also have a little sqeek from the leaf springs but in my search today I read a thread about a silicone spray lube on the leaf spring and retorque the u-bolts.

I have also read about the Cab mount being loose and radiator mount bushing needing to be replaced.

Where/what does a cab mount look like? what else would I look for and do to it. are there parts to relace?

I would have the same questions for the rad mount bushing too..

I will crawl under the pig this weekend and look , but figured if you guys know which parts to buy ahead of time... i might as well.

Just in case. 2021 TRD Pro 3300 miles, not that it matters.

 

Check your LCA bushings, the start and stop of the truck may be shifting forward and back on bad bushings may be causing the sound

 

My advice is to get it to a qualified technician to look at it. And I know that can be quite an adventure all onto itself, but unless you are familiar with undercarriage vehicle repairs and are willing and able to run the necessary tests, it maybe your best option.

The issue could be as simple as a loose or broken motor mount, front body mount bushing, suspension bushing or component and number of other things.

Good luck, and above all...

 

Thanks, should the task be above what im willing to do then absolutely. At this point im trying to narrow it down and see if its something I can do. But those are good spots to check, ill add them to the list for this weekend.

 

Check everything underneath including frame, crossover(s) rear leaf and front springs for cracks. Also steering rack and sway bar bushings.
Take pictures and post here of anything you’re not sure of or need advice on how to check, and there’s always someone here on TW who’s been there, done that on these amazing trucks willing to help.

Cheers

 

2021 with 3300 miles? Why are you even bothering? Its basically new and still under warranty. Let the dealership fix it at their expense.

 

Just solved same/ similar, noise/ problem on mine. I was brake pads. Removed pads lubed shims and pins. Noise gone.

 

This thread?

yes figured someone would post it.

Yes, i see your point. i just havent had the best experiances at dealers, and actively try to avoid them.

 

I had the same issue. Lots of noises coming from the passenger side front end. I changed the brake pads and greased the pins. Noises are all gone. Plus I had to air up my tires, they were down to 28 - 30lbs due to the fall weather change.
