    Hey All, just recently hit 1k miles on my new taco and have had an issue that hasn't went away. It's an 18' DCSB TRD OR 4wd with MT. When making a left turn, sometimes (especially when there is an incline like a driveway etc) I hear a grinding type noise from front end. Anyone experience this?

    I found this thread from a 2nd gen that sums it up pretty good. I went under the truck and couldn't find any culprits.

    Hoping it's an easy fix, I plan on taking it to the dealer next week.

    Take the truck back to the dealer and have them road test the truck as you explain the problem .
    Could be a number of things .
