Hilux 99 Hilux (1 Viewer)

[Salsa]

Hi guys!!

I'm hoping someone may be able to give me a little advice??

Ive got a 99 3ltr Diesel Hilux. He goes hard and is well looked after!! A few days ago I took him off road down a quite lumpy, sandy track and sadly hit a few big culvets pretty hard (the combo of the setting sun and dusty track). When I got back and put him back in 2wd his underside has been making some noises. It's under the drivers side (rhs), and feels like its pulling a little, it groans when I take it up a gear or go up a hill??

Just curious to what people may think I've done??

Hope to hear from ya!!

Thanks heaps,

Sally

G'day Sally! Welcome to 'mud! It's pretty hard to tell what you might've done over the web, but if you've crawled around under your ute and can't see anything obviously amiss, you might have to take it in to a mechanic. It could be suspension, steering, driveline, anything really. As I mentioned before, have a really good look for things that might be bent or shifted from hitting things.

Good luck!

As above, this sounds like one or several things. Have a close look at steering linkage. Does it make the same noise in 4wd as 2wd?
