Clunking noise from rear when the truck is off camber or turning sharply

That was my noise, so glad to be done with it!

 

Same here , checked them last night , definitely loose , removed one at a time , slathered never-seize on each of them and torqued them down to 60 ft.lbs

 

Did the bolts remove easily and is 60 ft lbs recommended torque spec?
What was the size needed for the bolt,hope i have one ?? thanks!

 

My bolts easily removed with a 3/8 ratchet , the socket that's needed is a T55 torx . I believe spec is 65ft.lbs but 60 seemed tight enough

 

same here. I'll quickly roll my back window down and back up before leaving the driveway and it never does it. When I forget it always makes the sound. I just need to lube up the seals a bit.

 

Checked the bed bolts today,each was slightly loose,so I torqued them to 65ft-lbs. Hopefully this will work!

 

Well, no such luck after checking bed bolts,the noise is still happening....

 

Did you lube the leaf springs?

Are you sure it’s not the ABS self test that happens after turning the truck on and getting up to about 10 mph? It’s a prominent clunk noise.

 

Bummer
I mentioned the rear sway bar earlier was the clunking noise on mine. How I found out is I tried about everything else that might be loose in the back. We were out camping and it was a rough road going in so going slowly it would constantly make the noise. So I disconnected one of the sway bar links and did a test drive and the noise was gone. Re-torque the bolts putting it back and been good for a few years now.

 

The clank noise came back for me when pulling into and out of driveway slowly. I took it to Toyota, they immediately knew it was the skid plate on my Pro. They ordered a new bolt kit for it that I believe has larger spacers to make a bigger gap between the skid plate and the frame. As the factory setup the skid plate is smashed against the frame and causes the clank sound as frame flexes.

If anyone has a skid plate and has the clank noise we speak of, remove the skid plate drive around and you won’t hear it. If so, have Toyota order you the new skid plate bolt kit to gap it so it stops causing the annoying noise.

Enjoy!

 

My bed bolts were a bit loose too... Great suggestion.
