^^ That noise keeps seeming to be random that my 4Runner is making
symptoms are:
Happens between 5-35mph (mainly town driving)
seems to reverberate loudest when I am driving by cars parked on the side of the road (possibly means its at wheel well level?)
sounds kind of like a carpenter hammering in the distance
if it does occur, it always occurs after acceleration
doesn't seem to matter if I am going straight or turning. I have noticed it start more when I am doing a turn though. (like turning right or left at a stop sign)
hard to replicate
doesn't seem to matter if AC is on or not
I took it in to the toyota dealership and couldn't replicate the sound for them and so they said nothing was wrong. A ticking sound like I recorded just has me worried... They told me if I cannot replicate the sound then don't sweat it. They did not seem to be interested in my video of the noise at all
So far I've heard from people:
Lifter Valve's in the engine?
CV Joints
Exhaust Leak
U-Joint
most popular is CV Joint...
Do you guys have any input for when I take it back in there next time? I have seen this described a few times online but never seen a video of the noise. So I am not sure if the other descriptions of the problems are the same as mine or not
