    Hello,

    I have a 2015 Tacoma TRD Pre-Runner 2WD
    Newly installed a set of Dirt King UCA's and Moog LCA's along with FOX 2.0 IFP coil overs.

    I have recently discovered a loud "clunk" noise coming from the front end. I assumed it might have been the recent suspension upgrade but double checked my install as well as torque values. After spending some time on here, I found a couple of threads regarding the noise my be coming from the brake calipers / pads due to undersized pins....Not sure but the noise is happening when I am moving from drive to reverse (as shown in the video)

    Has any one else had issues with the "clunk" "ping" noise coming from, the front end??? If so any fixes for the brake caliper / pad issues?

    I had a clunk going from reverse to drive/drive to reverse after an alignment because the LCA cam bolts were not torqued to 100 lb/ft.

    A click can be normal and is just the pads shifting in the calipers
