Rear End Thud

Hello all,

I searched the forum and didn’t find exactly what I’m looking for so I will post the question here.

Since new, my 2017 4WD double cab has had a rear end noise that I can’t quite identify. I know I have recently gone through some suspension changes and I had hoped that this third would go away… But it didn’t. It’s a solid noise and it sounds like a muffled metal on metal.

Whenever I go over a small to medium sized bump I can hear it from the rear end. I have checked the spare it seems to be pretty solid. I shook my exhaust and there seems to be no metal to metal contact.

The only other thing I thought of was they didn’t tighten down my bed bolts when they reinstalled them after my spray in liner. I’ll obviously check that.

Ideas?

I have the same truck and the same issue. I also checked all the things you did with the same results. I can reproduce the sound by pulling into my driveway and hitting the bump just right. No idea what it is.

 

My tailgate makes a clunk over bumps.

 

Nice to know. I’ll try and recreate it.

Thanks

John

 

It’s annoying and I think we’ll figure it out eventually.

Thanks

Good info. I'll have someone sit in the bed while I pull in the driveway and see if that's it.

 

tighten bed bolts, check the bed frame where the bed sits on.
