Hey gang,
First off, just signed up to the forum, awesome place with lots of great advice/problem solving for the 4runner community.
I decided it was time to get back into a 4 runner after years of driving an awd car in VT. So, I bought a used 06 SR5, 4wd with 40k miles on it and I feel like a man again!!! Anyway, there is one issue with the truck. Whenever I take a left turn, no matter what the sharpness, there is a loud rattle coming from under the truck. It feels like it moves, sometimes I can feel it under my feet and other times just hear it. I have checked everything that I could, ie heat shields, jack, spare, and have found nothing.....any suggestions?????

check the skid plate where the bottom wishbone are. mine rattled only when the engine made a connection to the rest of the drive train and fixed it today. good luck:driving:
 
Dam, I hate rattlings! Worn shocks, loose drivetrain component, engine/tranny mount etc... Keep listening. Any warranty left? Might be a covered part. With my other vehicle it was my shocks, another time it was a rear end- much dinero than just a shock hombre. Hopefully cause it's a great built Toyota it's only an old shock. Let us know when you find out.
 
Check the CV boots. Hopefully it is not a bad axle. If not... maybe a little more description would help this poor dumb ol' boy wrap his head around the problem! ;):
 
thanks for the responses guys....the rattle seems to move, starts under my feet in the morning and then hear it coming from the back after a stop and start. I brought it to the dealer ship, it still has 2 years and almost 20 k left on the warranty. They checked everything mentioned in the post and said that its in great condition. It doesnt do it all the time, which makes it seem like a nuisance noise. Just trying to get some ideas. Thanks everyone!!
