Clanking noise from front end normal?

I was the OP of that thread... Everyone check your body mounts!!

 

Still haven't gotten it sorted out. According to the dealer the parts are on order. Almost thinking I should just buy poly's and do it myself..

 

Were they able to confirm it was the body mounts?

 

They didn’t even check.

I’ve been through 3 dealers now trying to get this sorted.

It seems someone has finally decided to take the gamble on the parts based on what I’ve shown them off this forum.

Will find out when it goes back in at the end of the month.

 

How can you tell if your cab mount bushings are bad? It doesn't seem easy to take them out.

 

I have a similar noise too but it only seems to have cropped up in the past ~1,000 miles (at 11K or so on the truck right now)

I can rule out CVs because it's a prerunner, we can rule out M/T stuff because mine is an A/T...
Funny too because I've had it offroading and never had much issue, it's just this one big tall speed bump in my development (and only the tallest gnarly one, all the others don't do it)

I guess it probably is body mounts. Sounds like a pain in the nutsack to do but I guess it's not too expensive either.

 

Can't really tell with them in, but swapping them out was quick and easy

 

Really... do you know of a thread here about how to do it?

 

Mine did this, the locking clip device for the lower pin had come loose and the pin had walked half way out.

I have a AT with 21k and I heard the noise for the first time this afternoon. Went over about 4 speedbumps in a nearby neighborhood and heard the same metallic sound. Didn't sound like any type of brake pad vibration/noise.

 

I knew mine was the brakes since the noise disappeared with light brake pressure. This is what I found.

 

sorry, but what did you find? is something loose?

 

In the last picture you can see the retaining spring(that metal wire) has popped out of the hole it's suppose to be in

 

Ahh, gotcha. Thanks.

 

Same thing happened with my 2016 TRD sport, took to dealership 5 times before, contacting corp. and sure as shit,,they are buying it back under the lemon law,,,turning mine in on tues,,,,, Im so Happy,,,biggest piece of shit Ive ever owned and I once owned a Dodge Ram!!!! Corp is upgrading me to a brand new Tacoma and Ill have it traded in on something else before I leave dealership row. 5th toyota truck Ive owned and the worst. Only truck I wont be putting 300k on

 

oh yeah my clunk was the sway Bar end link hitting coil spring, Under load the front bushing flex giving it just enough to room to make contact so I lifted my truck last month and clunk went away my coilover kit came with new swaybar endlinks
