I think it will get better the further south they go but also the show is titled Expedition Overland so it comes down to the difference between 4 wheeling for 4 wheeling sake and overlanding which is more about travel to remote locations over primitive roads or no roads. I'll wait and see.
I have not bothered to say what I think the issue was even with my engineering and automation background because it would only be speculation without being able to see the disassembled components myself.
I don't think the issue is with the shock internally.
I think the problem was central to the...
I do not know the answer to this. I do know that the dealer replaced my LF spring/shock assembly from a complete set of 4 that was sent from Toyota. Single units are not available as yet. I looked at the unit removed but the failure is hidden under the rubber bellows cover of the shock shaft and...
Update: Pro Clunk has been fixed. I picked up the truck friday after a week and a half. Toyota called the dealer back and had me bring it in as they did not want me driving it with the previously explained condition. They gave me a new Highlander loaner which I thought was not bad. The dealer...

I showed him the visible condition of my shock mounting and he agreed it was not right. He called Toyota back and explained it is NOT normal and now they have agreed to...
I just talked with the dealer on the phone. They said my TRDPRO is ready to be picked up.
They said Toyotas position on the clunk is that it's normal. I asked why then is the top left shock bushing loose compared to the right side. He didn't know but that Toyotas position is nothings wrong...
Mine is at the dealer right now for this. They called to say that there is a tech number to call for suspension clunk issues and that they would call me back.
Will update.
I did stop by the dealer already last week to give them a heads up and showed the young service writer the issue with the loose left top shock insulator bushing. I also told him it was a problem with some TRDPROs and that there may be a TSB on it. I don't think he knew what he was looking at...
Has anyone had their TRDPRO clunk fixed yet? I'm interested to hear the reasons for this. I'll be taking mine in soon and it would be good to give them some areas to look for besides what I've found.
