    I have a 21 tundra trd pro. When I turn the a/c on it sounds like 2 cars sideswiping each other. They said it’s normal. Now my left from suspension is crunching. They said it normal. Anyone else with these issues and what if anything did you do at the dealership?

    The A/C clunk is a widely known annoyance that Toyota says is normal and will never attempt to fix unless you have a total failure of some sort. If you leave the setting on low when shutting down and before starting the truck, it doesn't seem to clunk, that's the fix we here have found works the best.

    My new (2yr old sub 5k miles driven) suspension squeaks. Annoying AF. I'm not sure if it's my sway bar or UCA. Common problem apparently.

    Crunching might be a bad ball joint? Not sure about the A/C. Hadn't experienced that one.

    That could just be sand in the leaf springs. Blow them out with a water hose at home or manual car wash.
