Hi,
I’ve done a bit of searching but nothing definitive has popped up other than check loose nuts etc. I put on new front oem Toyota struts in the front the other night and test drove, it was great. Then last night I put on ome 2860 rear springs with new oem Toyota struts in rear and cranked stock torsion bars up. Upon test drive I heard the clicking sound. So I nursed it back to garage (no more than 1/4 mile) and proceeded to put on the trail tailor diff drop. Another test drive and same clicking noise from front passenger wheel area (almost feels like a wobble).
the only other thing I did last night was grease the drive shaft.
any thoughts on what might be doing this? It’s weird to me as the front strut install was great, and I didn’t touch front end last night. Could the CVs be shot and the increase in lift have exposed that?
I should mention, the 100 series has 214k miles andthis AM I did lower the torsion bars about an inch which seems to have lessened the noise from 1 click ever 1-2 wheel revolutions to 1 click every 3-4. But much more lowering of front will have the front so low (relative to back) it kind of defeats the purpose.
appreciate any thoughts
also, truck is currently in Phx Arizona. If anyone has a shop they recommend please do share.
