    sound coming from the front everything? Have you taken a look? Take a ratchet or a torque wrench with you when you climb down there to check it out.

    I’ve torqued everything to spec at my friends shop had it on a lift and I don’t see anything my tire Also have positive camber and the alignment and dealer said it’s all to spec I had I lift and I thought it was the aftermarket shocks I put everything back to stock so Toyota would take care of it under warranty but I can’t figure out with the noise it’s I’ve heard it could be the rack and pinion or cv arm?

    Mine does it as well. I don’t always notice it, but lately I’ve had the windows open and radio off. I chalked it up to just a little peculiarly that was nothing to be concerned with.

    Nope, no brakes. Just reverse and gas pedal, it creaks and chunks for a few feet then stops.
