Clunking at rear

For quite awhile now I have been getting a clunking noise coming from the rear left that happens mostly when weight is on that side eg. reversing down the driveway. I can replicate the noise by shaking the car side to side from the roof above the rear wheels.

At first I thought it had to do with the exhaust (as i just got it changed a month or so ago) but my boy and I have spent time under the car padding the exhaust and that does not make a difference.

Now Im thinking it may be related to my suspension. Im running super low springs at the back with standard shocks which have been on the car since I bought it a few years ago. Iv been reading up on others with this problem but its all a bit confusing. Will probably need to take it to a suspension place but would like to check it out myself before getting it looked at. Whats the best way to access the top hat of the suspension? I know its a matter of pulling out everything in the boot but Im not sure where to start or what to look for?

Any advice would be appreciated as the noise is driving me crazy! thanks

Plz don't be. Your presence is good enough :rolleyes:

Checked the nuts/bolts underneath first so looking where the nuts are at bottom of the struts and the bolts securing the sway bar.

Need shorter shocks to go with your springs, more than likely.

Have you given your exhaust a good bash around? You may have just popped a middle rubber off, which can lead to many noises.

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll also try taking the key off the ring. After all, I've tried everything else from using extreme profanities, kicking and crying. What do I have left to lose? Ha ha 🤬🤣

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi Helen1234 I went the cheap option also from Ebay for my 2010 Hilux. It took multiple attempts to get mine to work but after the 4th or 5th time it did exactly what was supposed to happen. The instructions need to be followed perfectly and if you dont the fob will not learn the system. I was personally having the issue where the car thought I took the key out of the ignition because the key barrel is worn. I had to take my key off my key ring because the weight from my house key, canopy key and bottle opener where weighing down on the key when it was in the key barrel. Good luck, hope you get it to work

      Backlash clunk when slightly on and off accelerator

      Hi all, I'm new to the forum and hoping the brains trust here may be able to help, maybe even seen the issue before. I have a 2010 Hilux KUN26 193k on the clock. I have been searching for a possible cause of a clunk which has developed which sounds and feels like backlash. It seems to be coming from towards the front of the vehicle. While the vehicle is idling along in lets say first gear and if I was to ever so slightly touch the accelerator pedal I get a clunk sound like something is engaging and then let my foot off again it happens again but like its disengaging it can felt through the car. I have had it up on a hoist and checked all the engine and gearbox mounts which all seem fine. The tailshaft and uni joints all seem fine also. The clunk happens in all gears but once cruising in any gear you wouldnt think there was an issue. Originally I was leaning towards a clutch issue but only because I was noticing it while changing gears but with further investigation I have noticed it happens without touching the the clutch pedal and just on and off accelerator. I have a throttle controller on the vehicle and thought this may be the issue so I unplugged it and nothing changed. Im hoping someone has seen this before and can point me in the right direction.

      project 2007 camry grande

      The wreckers don't want to sell the centre caps , they only want to sell complete wheel sets. Toyota dealers can supply them new in a packet , but don't know if there is one in a packet or four.

      VSC light flashing when using DAC

      Hey Mate, Im no professional so dont quote me on this, but I think that's normal. They flash when you break traction and the DAC kicks in. If it's constantly flashing at you even when you're not breaking traction, you might have a problem. But it's the same thing with traction control on newer cars. It flashes at you when the traction control is activated and you are sliding or drifting, or whatever.

      Air conditioner not switching on when vehicle is started

      I'm having the exact same issue as Graham. Last time they told me it was the battery. Toyota still can't find the issue, going in for service in about 2 weeks. We'll see what they come up with this time.
