    I have a 2011 trd sport which is making a cracking sound under the drivers side floor when i take a left hand turn, im just curious if anyone else has had this problem or what it could me, of course i leased it and my warranty expired in october this year so now everything is out of pocket.

    Outer front CV joint, drivers side.........maybe. Check to see if the rubber boot is ripped. The inner joints rarely go bad, but check that boot for tears too.

    Have a mechanic check it. then if bad your best bet would be a rebuilt axle. Cleaning and repacking the joint, then putting on a new boot kit, is a crap-shoot, it might be too worn, and still be noisy.

    Sounds like wheel bearing to me.

    I would define a "cracking" noise as something shifting perhaps? A video recording the sound would be needed though for ANYONE to give an accurate diagnosis. Several things can cause this kind of noise.
