    Need a little help confirming what the following "popping" sound may be. I've been hearing it for the last couple of weeks. I'm still under warranty, so I will be taking the truck in. Just need a little ammunition in case they come back and say, "The tech couldn't duplicate the noise."

    "Popping" sound, in general, occurs while going up/down curbs, big dips in roads (i.e. drainage channels here in the desert SW), and going over speed bumps.

    Also experiencing overall noisy suspension.

    All of this can be heard in the video here: http://www.efextek.com/tacoworld/frontendpop.mp4

    First and only pop heard at the beginning of the video while going over first speed bump. Other noises heard, like creaking, going over second and third speed bumps.

    (2017 TRD OR 4x4 with 17,805 miles on it). Thanks!

    Still under warranty. Show the dealer the video, let them drive it and they can figure it out

    I won't be able to take it in until mid-next-week. I will keep everyone posted.

    Before you start throwing money at it try losening the LCA bolts and torque them back to spec. I had the same sound as your video and changing the body mounts didn't help. My assumption is there was some binding going on where the frame meets the LCA bushings.
