Hi ive got like a loud rattle sound coming from under the front of the 4by sounds like a loose exhaust but i cant find where its loose . And the annoying thing is it dosnt do it all the time but it does do it when im coming to a stop with the clutch in , But if you give it a rev it goes away also some times it goes away if you release the clutch and the press it again . Another annoying thing is that when i try and get out of the 60 to have a look to see where its coming from it goes away . I know that its a bit vague does anyone have any ideas ..... cheers dave

forgot to say its a 1984 FJ60 186000 origanal klm,s and still on its origanal clutch that still seems fine
x2.....throw out bearing...
wait till the clutch goes out and change both then. Or if its really annoying....change the throw out bearing and do the clutch while your in there.
Im just guessing here as I am not there to here it...
can you record the sound?

Found the noise , it was the exhaust hitting the cross member. I'm glad it's not the throw out bearing .

Thanks for the feed back ... We checked all the engine mounts and they all seem fine i got in the car and run it while it was on the hoist and they all seem fine . Didnt seem to be the right noise for a throw out bearing as it still made the noise with the clutch in ..
could be pilot bearing going out.
