    so I’m getting a weird clicking sound when I turn into a driveway whether if left or right at the front end of the truck is fine going straight and over bumps,
    Does anyone experience this with their 3rd gen

    Strut mount. Switched to 5100's and it's gone. Told Toyota what it was but they wouldn't do anything if they couldn't hear it. Of course they could not make it do it.

    I played them the sound and showed them this video. Unless we were going to drive it to a neighborhood that had the speed humps that made mine do it, they couldn't help. Told them to sign me out and I would fix it myself.

    Front bushing(s) are bad. My 16' (early production) did the same thing...drove me nuts! Dealer replaced front passenger's side bushing...no hassle-problem solved. Tech thought Toyota had a bad run of those bushings in my build date range-Texas plant.

    he's probably talking about the cab mount bushings right behind the wheels.. many other member have also reported that the front passenger bushing near the radiator has gone bad also
