Your brakes squeal everytime you use them. Don’t worry. They’re working fine. Doing what there supposed to be doing. Just a characteristic of these new high performance brakes we’re using. Only does it when it’s cold. Do you draw the line then?
Your a/c compressor makes weird noises. Don’t worry. It’s working as intended. Just this new high performance compressor we’re using. It’s a characteristic. Nothing to worry about.
Transmission makes a loud clunk everytime it shifts. Don’t worry. New transmission we’re using. Just a characteristic of this high performance transmission. It’s working fine. Only does it in cold weather. No worries.
You get what I’m saying?

Absolutely I do. There was a certain amount of sarcasm in the above post...
That said, when you read a post like Crawler 78's issue, that definitely needs to be shoved in Toyota's collective in box until you get some kind of resolution.
My .02 on Crawler's issue sounds like way more than a shock noise, sounds like something that is supposed to move isn't OR something that is not supposed to move is...The 4Runners are notorious for frozen adjusters on the LCA's. I would be surprised if that was connected to the noise, but ya never know.
I suppose I was poking a bit of sarcastic fun at the "automotive hypochondriacs" and you just know they exist.
Now as I said, mine are absolutely silent, no noise, no squeak, no thump, cold temps or otherwise. I have even tried to make mine do it after sitting overnight in 23F degree weather. Nada, nothing. Silent as a tomb, dead nuts stable at 80mph.
FWIW a 2019 Pro with 9342 miles and about 6 months old. One of the first mods I did was to replace the sway bar bushings with urethane ones. Super easy and cheap. I was amazed at how soft the stock rubber Toyota ones were, already significantly deformed at 1800 miles. Anecdotal? yes, coincidence...maybe. Food for thought....?
