First saw it on the Eibach website, that Toyota had released a TSB for clunking Fox shocks which is basically a replacement with the 2021 version. Issue for people here is that the Eibach front coils dont work with the '21 shock as it has a stepped coil base instead of the flat '19&20.
Now the crappy part for users here... you would have to remove the Eibach coils and go in stock to get replacement. Mine have clunked since new in the cold.. but was always told its normal.
TSB-0094-20
Some 2019 – 2020 model year TRD Pro Edition 4Runner vehicles may exhibit a knocking noise when driving at low speeds over uneven road surfaces (small bumps and dips) in cold conditions. The noise is noticeable in cold temperatures (less than 40˚F) and diminishes as temperatures increase. The TRD Pro shock absorbers have been improve noise performance. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to address the condition.

We're aware of this update and have already updated our information. We are looking into the TSB and their solution to the problem. We believe it's a direct swap out for the Tacoma PRO assembly, which we have a spring for. If the TSB is replacing the whole assembly for the open end / Tacoma assembly, the current 4Runner PRO Eibach spring WILL NOT work on the TSB replacement parts.
::::UPDATE:::::
Confirmed with R&D that we're still looking for a 4Runner PRO in SoCal who has received the updated parts from the TSB and willing to leave the vehicle here for testing for two days. You will receive product and installation at no charge. Most Importantly, you get to be a hero to the community.

I don't think the biggest concern is if the warranty is approved, but rather the Eibach springs not working on the TSB replacement parts, and needing to save the Eibach's in an effort to recoupe some cash for the springs in the used market.
