    Hi new here.
    Just bought a 2018 tundra 4×4 last month. Today on my way home it stated making a clinking sound while I was driving. It sounds like something hitting a heat shild and the faster I go the faster the clinking goes. It also sounds like its comming from the front tire.Got under it and looked at all the heat shilds and all around the tires and drive shaft and cant see anything wrong or caught in any moving parts. Anyone have an idea what it could be. They cant service it till the end of next week but I need it to work .
    Thanks

    I had this issue with a 2013 Tundra. It's a long shot, but in my case it was a label that they forgot to remove on the front driveshaft. I took it in, thinking it was a major issue, and it was snowing like crazy. 5 minutes later, they crawled under the truck and removed the long label, sound and problem gone. Might be worth a look.
