    POTENTIAL Emergency: Loud rubbing noise in front end after driving in snow.

    OK so took another look underneath this morning with good lighting. No ice build up or anything. Removed the grease cap, clip ring still in place. Rotors are tight, nothing loose. Shields are not rubbing. Decided to run it up to 55 mph and the noise seems to be gone. No vibration or anything...

    It gets better when turning left and when accelerating.

    POTENTIAL Emergency: Loud rubbing noise in front end after driving in snow.

    gotcha. Yeah something definitely could have come loose. We were on some super rough roads. Just weird that the noise started after it had been parked all day. Anyway, thanks for the insight. I’ll report back if I find a fix tomorrow!

    Good idea on popping the grease cap. I have not put it in LO or tried the diff locks. I will try that this evening or in the morning. I checked for ice build up but didn’t see anything. Did you notice a rubbing or grinding sound from the ice in your GFs car? We haven’t hit highway speeds yet.

    Unfortunately no heated garages around here that I have access to. Actually you might know where I am... McCall, ID.

    Thank you for all who take the time to respond. We are traveling out of town and if I need to find a mechanic, i have to change travel plans ASAP. This morning, we drove about 15 miles down a wash board road covered with about 8 inches of snow. Parked all day, about 8 hours. Got back to the...

    Steve - another huge thanks for recommending LTS. I just talked with Cory. Super professional, knew exactly what he was talking about, and the price was significantly less than the dealer. I love wrenching but until I have my garage set-up from the move, it feels great to find a pro I can trust.

    Perfect! Thanks a lot! I'm gonna call them up today. also... I see you're in a 2013... I've been thinking about a 200 myself but all the technology and the repair of said technology and gadgets scares me. Have you had any major issues with it yet?

    Thanks for the tip. Hadn't come across Camelback yet so I'll check it out before ordering parts for bearings and CV overhaul.

    Nice! That's a beautiful area over there. If you're ever down around Boise give me a shout! We should organize a meet-up for NW LCs sometime!

    I just moved to Boise, ID from Virginia. The LC did wonderfully on the trip but now I need to find a new source for parts. I was ordering from toyotaonlineparts.com (McGeorge Toyota in VA) but i'm assuming a closer dealer/parts supplier will be better for shipping costs. Any suggestions would...

    ABS Booster Pump - Repair or Replace? Part Sources? Rebuild in DFW, TX

    I just started noticing my pump making loud squeak/squeal upon starting the engine, especially when cold outside. Brakes are also VERY spongy and weak. A bleed did help a little bit but gains from that are gone and the soft brakes are back. Any suggestions? Should I be prepping $$ for a...

    Gotcha. Can you give a little bit more info about the noises? When they occur? Under what conditions? Where on the vehicle?

    Thunking/knocking after diff drop and OME kit

    Don't know if you saw my other post earlier in this thread, but the cause of my knocking, clanking, clunking, etc. after the diff drop and suspension work was the top nut on the shocks. The front DS wasn't tight enough. According to a call I had with Slee, the rubber bushings should have a bow...

    I got mine to 150. Almost got worried about pulling the damn car off the jack stands. Did you swap out shocks or springs?
