    Alright so just recently I started hearing a weird "thump" coming from the rear end when going over speed bumps. Any idea what this could be? Only has 21k miles on it. 2018 Trd sport 2wd

    They hold your leaf springs to the rear end. They sometimes loosen up and you’ll have movement going over bumps.

    It’s just one thing to check, but good to do even if it doesn’t get rid of the noise.
