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....?

No worries AMLOR. My wife’s is also 6 months and a little over 9k. It’s warmed up here a good bit here and it’s still making the noise. From what I’ve gathered from messing with it the last day or two it might not be shocks and from what Crawler said it doesn’t sound like his is either. It’s warmed up a good bit here last couple days and the noise is still consistent. Only coming from right rear. Can somewhat duplicate it by grabbing the roof rack and bouncing that side up and down. Need to get a buddy over to do it while I get under the rig. Gonna check the bushings like you suggested.
