Front end sound

Hey TW,
I am having that similar sound like others when in hit a dip or go over a speed bump at low speeds. Sound like my shocks are dead in the front. I’m at 59k miles. Figure it’s going to cost out of pocket to fix it. How much are the repairs to fix this issue? Or should I just sell the Tacoma....

 

I take it you are stock configuration at this time.
Change out the front shocks with some 5100's will be a few hundred bucks, but easy to install and should fix the issue. Also could be body mount bushings.... change those out for polyurethane ones.

 

Would either of those options be covered under 35k warranty?

 

Is it a clunk or clack ? Then probably the shocks.
Is it a screech or groan ? Then probably the front core support body mounts.

Couldn’t tell you on the warranty.

 

Clunk or clank. More of a metal on metal noises

 

No. Not at your milage. Only thing you have is emissions left till 80k and drive train to 60k
Everything else was 36k unless you have extended to 100k

 

None

 

Could be the c clip on the lower comtrol arm ball joint. That has been know to rattle around

 

Should I take it to the dealer or is there a reliable shop in OC?

 

I would try Huntington beach Toyota or maybe cabe Toyota in long beach.. I am not sure about private shops down there
@ODNAREM may know of a good spot

 

I’m unaware of this situation/problem @Athan1 .I either do my own service or i do utilize Toyota of HB.As far as a private shop i have nothing to suggest for you.I’d suggest Toyota of HB or take it to the dealer you purchased the truck from.At your mileage shock replacement is a possibility.Good luck!
