weird sound in my tacoma

Idk why my tacoma has a weird clicking sound when I go on reverse but it just started to make the sound when I also drive foward not as loud as when I'm going in reverse what can it be?

 

First check that there are no rocks, nails, screws or anything else in the treads, then check u-joints.

 

U joints what is that? Sorry I don't really know much about it

 

U-joints are at each end of the driveshaft which allows the shaft to move with the suspension and allows for the difference between transfer case and axles.

 

Universal Joints would be my guess also.
OP have you ever greased the universal joints?
Have you had any vibration when accelerating?

 

Yes Jimmy but also if I'm going downhill and it's in neutral it's also making the clicking sound

 

Well the drive shaft will still be turning in neutral.

 

I know this comes up a lot. I've been meaning to get under my 2WD '15 PreRunner V6 and look for zerks, but have read the 2WDs do not have them.
I would do it, but one of my knees is banged up.

 

I would say the only true way to know is to look. My 2012 Prerunner does have zerk fittiings.

 

My 2011 V6 Prerunner does not have zerks.

 

where do you live?

 

El paso tx

 

Not much snow there haha. sometime ice can rely get lodged and screw things up.

 

is your taco a prerunner? like others have mentioned, u joints on the 05-11's are sealed and go out fast.

 

It's not a prerunner it's the trd sport 4x4

 

non the less you should check them and grease them

 

Does it happen when you touch the brakes for the first time after switching from drive to reverse or vise versa?

 

does for me!!

 

Typically it's just the brake pads moving in the caliper when you first touch the brakes for the first time after changing directions.

 

When I accelerate up on till 35 but also when Ibrake no matter how fast in going
