    I have a 2018 Trd sport 4x4. I had knocking going on in my front left tire area I took my truck to the dealership and they said its normal wear. I told them it never made this sound ever sense I got the truck. Has anybody have the same issue... also I called corporate they want me to get a second opinion from a different dealership

    Brake pads moving in caliper. Others have had this issue.

    It's been an issue for others. May want to have them check.

    I had this issue, but it was only when I drove on snow covered roads and the temp dropped below 10 degrees. Turned out snow was packing between the frame and the body, then freezing solid. When I hit bumps the frame and body moved and made loud banging sounds.

    Check and make sure the sway bar end link is tight. Dunno why it’d be loose but that would cause a knock over bumps. Just need a 17mm and two seconds of your time.
