    Hey guys I have a 2017 TRD OR DCS 27000miles on stock everything. I'm not nice to it.


    I was driving this afternoon after making a right turn coming off a steep hill (pretty fast I was running a yellow) and heard a clunk from the front right strut area. For the next couple miles everytime I hit a bump or pothole in the right I heard a loud crack.

    Now I had a ball joint snap on my first gen, it sounded similar but appears to be intact. I also can't replicate the noise anymore, even after driving over the shoulder for a bit and up and down the potholes in my driveway.

    I'm new to 2nd/3rd gen suspension. Anyone have similar issues?

    Literally in the same boat had a first Gen I replaced the entire front end on, and my 2017 makes all sorts of noise up there....just like the first gen. I just keep peaking at it to check things out nothing looks off and I remind myself of the warrrwar
