Hi there,
I just bought this truck. Put it in reverse a few hundred miles from the sale and heard an awful scraping from the driver side front axle. Then nothing. Few hundred more miles, it’s making this sound when I start to drive. Still rolling though. Took it to Toyota dealer they said the front axle looks like a grenade hit it. They showed me. $2442 to fix it. Also the spark plugs tubes were full of oil and so I fixed that too. Front brake calipers were toast. All total $4472.
30 miles down the road. Put it in reverse, same god awful sound from the front axle drivers side. At least I can roll but I don’t want to do more damage. Open to thoughts and suggestions. In any case, y’all have a good weekend. Cheers
