My '99 4Runner 4cyl., 5 spd w/ 60k miles is in great shape, no accidents, no floods, street driven and kept stock for now. Every maintenance period I do what's needed, but I haven't repacked the bearings yet or changed the fuel filter (bonehead location requires removal of whole intake manifold to change it). No problems until now, but I'm starting to hear a kind of creaking/groaning sound in the suspension or frame, front and back, when I roll over speed bumps at an angle. There aren't any lube points that I know of in the suspension or anywhere under side except the clutch linkage which is lubed when needed.
Does anyone know what the sound is indicating so I can pinpoint the cause before going to a big expense to find out?
Many thanks.
