I just picked up a 'clunk' sound, only while reversing and applying the brakes

Hey all,
I have a 2005, pre runner, quadcab and I have experienced this once in a while; just picked up a 'clunk' sound, only while reversing and applying the brakes. I just installed a 3 inch leveling kit and now the noise comes more often. im sure theres already a thread on this, if so could you share the link. or better yet anyone know what could be happening, also what is a brake rod?

thanks,

Jay

 

any vibs? like when accelerating or anything like that?

 

Brake pads shifting... Mine does it alot and really loud. Dealer says it's normal, however mine is abnormally loud.

 

i hear it as well...

but friend of mines that works for toyota as an ASE technician said its absolutely normal...so I'm not worried...plus if anything happens I got extended warranty and Toyota can fix it and deal with it under their $$$...

 

Mine clunks while applying the brakes in my driveway.....I figured also it was the pads

 

As everyone else is saying, it's the brake pads shifting. Although you should have the sound going forward too and only hear it when you first apply the brakes. I have it too.

 

There is a TSB for it

 

^if there is a TSB...post up the link...that way those who don't know about it or can't find it can take it to the stealership and get it fixed...

 

^^Here is the link to the thread I got it from, post #10 :
