    My 07 prerunner has recently started making a strange noise occasionally but always occurs while accelerating while making a sweeping turn. It sounds like it is originating from the right side just in front of the passenger seat. It sounds very similar to vibrating metal. I had a local shop check it out after I showed them the noise on a test drive, and they couldn't find anything wrong. The truckalso makes a similar sound coming from the same area while in reverse. This issue has been going on for years and I just felt that the truck didn't like going backwards I'm wondering if the issues are related. Can anyone share their experience with a similar issue? I am going to try to set a link for videos of the noise in both situations(hopefully you can hear and understand what I'm talking about)

    Couldn't here much in those videos.
    One thought: the right front tire might be coming in contact with the mud flap or loose wheel wheel liner.
