    Hi all. I recently had a mechanic replace the upper and lower control arms on both sides, and the struts/absorbers on my 07 base prerunner 2wd with 180k miles.
    The drivers side is now rattling and banging when hitting road patch work.
    He says he torqued everything correctly.
    The control arms were oem and struts are aftermarket.
    It didn't do this before.
    I texted him and he stands by his work.of course.
    I used do it myself but age and health told me to just pay a shop.
    I know he should be checking it if he stands by his work, but does anyone have an idea?
    I cant afford to run through multiple mechanics
    I have to take it in for an alignment and will get them to double check it.
    Its just the drivers side rattling and banging. As far as I can tell.
    It bums me out...
    Thanks.

    Not much to bang around there unless something is loose or not attached. The swaybar would be the first thing I would look at.

    I would also make sure the lower shock mount was installed properly, some aftermarket coilovers have two different spacers, usually intended to get the bottom of the coilover away from the CV axle.
