Front end popping noise that is NOT SUSPENSION RELATED?

^^ This!

555 is oem =]

 

Went up under the truck this morning to find that my transmission mount was missing a bolt... there are 4 bots that connect to the tranny... and I was missing one... I contacted Toyota and they will have a bot in tomorrow morning... I will check to see if the rest of them were tight.

On another note... I held down my break pedal, put it into drive and gave it a little gas... I can see my motor turn when I did that... now I am thinking I might have bad motor mounts as well...

 

Well Damn. I'm going to check mine out tomorrow.

Damn clicking noise.

 

Thank you for the follow up!

 

I just went up under the truck again to make sure the 3 bolts that remained were tight... and they were... whats weird is 2 were 14mm and the other one was 13mm?

strange.. I had my tranny rebuilt at 168,000 and now I have 225,000 miles... I have a feeling the guys who reinstalled my tranny didn't put all the correct bolts back... grrrrrr

 

Amex payment to my account,,and thanks for your business.

Thanks for the follow up.

 

I finally found my front end popping noise. Slightly embarrassed to say. My front right rotor was locking up do to the bad brake line. I'm guessing it was putting stress on the front strut. Its all better now.

 

I was having the "same" noise, on mine. Changed the CV today, will see if that stopped that noise when I drive it to work tomorrow
