Clicking Sound When Steering

Im sure they can get it out - question is will the replacement bolt go in snug - we shall see. I was tempted to pry it out myself but this is a toyota problem not a TR problem and I want them to honor the warranty

 

Mention that...
I usually change my own oil after the free service contract is up, I need it fixed right & no hacking / cutting corners...
"Obviously someone didnt care enough & just rammed it home with air, cross threaded it, over tightened it, who knows what....."
But unacceptable....
I try to come to the dealer to avoid butchery & here I am......
Twist the knife & express your frustration & the importance of resolving it without anymore hackery...

 

I almost drove it to the service dept but I’m going to wait 1700 miles for my next service / oil change. I want to minimize the number of times these clowns mess with my truck.

 

Ive said it many times, you do you, but I will never agree with that & think its a good idea...
It is what it is, get it handled.
My 2 cents...

 

It is also a timing thing - it takes half a day of my time. Can do it all at once. And nothing will happen between now and then. The fact that I waited to now also helped me identify that it was the skid plate causing the sound, which they would have never discovered — would have been an exercise in futility and the bolt issue would have remained. I think my approach is sound. Safety issues are another matter.

 

Gave the truck a little workout today. No more noise after the re-torque on the front skid plate.

 

Same here!
