Rad/Front Body Mounts Shot

I want to say the way they were installed is what caused it. I had an 06 for 9 years and they have the exact hardware up there.

 

Toyota replacing mine on passenger side next week. Squeaks real bad. The dealer said some were misaligned. I am assuming they are saying they were out of center causing the sleeve to smash one side of the thin rubber. or either pinched on the frame or support end. Could you elaborate a little for our education. Never had, or never noticed, this problem on my 1st and 2nd gen. I was really surprised at how long this issue has been in the forums. i have seen a few there replaced at only 2 years old. Are the stock ones made cheaper than previous years or were they always soft and thin.

 

They were always soft and thin but they must've been installed correctly on the 2nd gens. Although there is a whole thread about 2nd gens having this same issue. But i had mine for 9 years and never had this problem.

 

My 08 seemed fine. Cannot wait to get this and, at least, the tranny tsb, done this week. Mine got so noisy it has been parked for 8 days now. Its been in the 90's all week so I opened it today, to let it breath, and that interior smells like brand new after 6 months. There is a good distinct smell from the Clazzios too.

 

Replaced mine today as well. Passenger side was making all sorts of noise, creaking and everything. Both were pretty messed up, you can see it cut completely through the passenger side mount, which was disintegrated. Driver's side was close, you can see the marks on both of the metal bushings. This was a 2016 with 15k miles.

 

I just hope my driver side is ok. The dealer is replacing my passenger side tomorrow.

 

Was bad and replaced. Truck is finally quiet.

 

Hi,

Anyone have a few more pics or a better description of the steps required to replace these?

Thanks

 

Dealer did mine but gotta remove inner fender wells to see it. Then right in your face.

 

Is this the same part? Looking to get this.

 

Yes sir this is the energy suspension 9.4101. They come in red or black. The front grille and front bumper must be removed to access them. Its pretty easy to get the grille and bumper off but i would recommend having a second person help you put it back on. Not entirely impossible to do alone of course but much easier with more hands

 

First remove grille then front bumper and they're in your face. Easy to take the parts off but i needed a hand getting the bumper back on

 

You do not need to remove the bumper and grille, a little easier going through the wheel well.

4 months since dealer replaced mine and no more horrid squealing and screeching from mine. It was so bad I parked it until they agreed to fix it.

 

Mine (2017) only has 1500 miles on it and it seems to have some of these symptoms I was hoping it was just from some ice/snow build up but it seems like this might be it. Mostly when i am driving slow squeaking and creaking from front end somewhere. Can't really hear it when windows are down but inside the cab it is pretty annoying.

 

I had my passenger side replaced at around 5000 miles in July. As of now mid january with 9100 miles no more issues.

 

Well, I got a car wash and all the creaking and squeaking went away. Been 2 days without the noises.

 

I have read of some with mud caked in spots that caused a similar noise. In my case I heard it for 2 days then it quit. Around 30 days later it started again and was non-stop until they replaced the bushing.

 

My 2017 , with 800 miles has this problem driver and passenger side.

 

2017 OR, built August 2016. 6,500 miles.
