"Thud" when I stop, gear shift moves too!

......women do love getting their hands on a wallet!!!

 

Sounds like i have the same problem, just recently when i'm about to stop and if i don't put the clutch right in, i hear a thud sound. Drives me f'n nuts. I own a 2002 4x4 tacoma. I did put a 3 inch suspension lift and 305 tires. Would that cause any problems? Any help please!

 

do you have rear blocks or aal??

 

Rear blocks

 

rear blocks will definitely cause axle wrap man.........sorry to say. you can get a set of helper springs, but your best bet will be to to lose the blocks and get some aal's for the rear.

 

Can i do sever damage soon?

 

not really man. its more annoying that anything. now later on down the road.....it could, and blocks do have a tendency to break/crack..........so if you decide to keep them.....just keep an eye on the rear suspension.

 

I have a truxxx level kit, that a good one?

 

havent heard of that one honestly.....got a link to where i can take a look see?

that kit shouldnt be too bad......although you will eventually have a little more wear on some of the front drive/suspension components due to the spacers, but if you arent wheeling your truck hard, you should be good to go with that kit for a good while. if you decide to upgrade later on.........if i were you, i'd go with aal's for the rear, and a decent coilover kit for the front.

 

Like i said, that thud sound just started not too long ago. Have to take my truck in for an oil change (toyota dealership), should i mention it to them?

 

well....you could, but they will either tell you that the rear leafs are worn out, or some other bs...........and then try to get you to buy a new set of leafs. i wouldnt mention it to them.......thats just me tho.

 

I want to get a traction bar from Bud to save my springs from the "axel wrap"

fail post

 

itchy finger double post.........................fail!!!!!


those traction bars look pretty sweet...................i just wonder how much they'd get in the way while offroading??

 

How much they cost? I want to know to see what the dealership says?

 

for your truck.....$445

 

Thank you for your time, greatly appreciated! Will keep you informed. Ride hard

 

I also notice that when i'm at a complete stop and i'm getting out of 1st gear, i don't get that forward motion (like when you have the gear in neutral). I was at a stop sign on top of a hill (not a major hill or anything) but that's when i noticed that i was not going forward. (you know that normal motion forward) wtf? Any help?
