    i recently got this loud hum that i can hear coming from under my truck from speeds around 35-50 can’t really pin point what it is. Any ideas on that? Also i have recently gotten some popping noises when i turn my wheel or hit the gas, maybe it’s worn out suspension? Not really sure, anything helps! Thanks. P.s. i drive a 2009 tacoma 4x4

    The humming is most likely your needle bearing. Common problem. Next time you hear it, shift into 4x4. If the noise goes away, it's definitely the needle bearing.

    The popping when your suspension articulates is seized lower control arm (LCA) bushings.

    It may be obvious, but don’t shift into 4wheel while going freeway speeds or on turns while on dry pavement.
