Hi all
I have a 2009 dual cab. Nothing special, just a few basic mods.
I have a small worry.
I know that rear wheel noise can be related to wheel bearings...very familiar with that; but when my car is parked...in/out of gear, doesn't matter....handbrake on/off doesn't matter....
I shake the rear wheels (both sides the same) from the top of the tyre and hear a clunk/clunk sound. Sounds as if the axles at the diff end are flopping up and down...clunk/clunk/clunk.
The car drives fine, sounds fine....no issues whatsoever.
The car has done 3 trips to Alice Springs via Great Central Rd; via Sandy Blight Jn Rd; via Canning Stock Route as well as a number of other long distance trips throughout WA......no problems.
I don't want to go fixing something that isn't broke.
Do other hiluxes do the same?
I've got 40 years mechanical experience, so not new to it, but haven't experienced this sound before.
Can a few of you give the rear wheels a shake and tell me if your hilux does the same?
Thanks
Brian
