Driver's side clunk, driving forward after starting truck

So I have a 19 Platinum 4x4 with 2700 miles on it. When I first start up and drive off there is clunk coming from the drivers side front wheel area. Cold or warm doesn't matter, but only happens when I am driving forward after I start it up. If I have been driving and put it in park and then to drive and move forward it doesn't happen. I took it to the dealer today and they drove it, heard it and said it is normal, the tech thought it was wheel engaging the spline in the shaft as it moves forward. Anyone else have this issue? Doesn't sound right to me.

 

It's probably the ABS self test. My SR5 did it, and so does my Pro.

 

The tech probably should've told you what @19TurdPro did.

 

Thanks guys, as long as it is normal.

 

Hmmm....my 2019 SR5 4x4 does the same thing. Glad to hear that this is something normal. I mostly notice it after I back out of the driveway as soon as I start going forward.

 

^^^ same here

 

Yep we all have it nothing to worry about. I was freaking out to when I had my first Tundra because I thought it had something to do with the level kit I installed because I didn’t notice it before that, but just lived with it because I figured dealership would tell me it was my fault. Traded that one in and fresh off the lot my new truck did it and best way the dealership could describe is” they all do it something with the breaks”

 

It is. You can play with it if you want. It happens at like 6MPH, so you can creep at 2 for a while, then when you hit 6, *clunk*

 

ABS LOL, technically speaking, we all drive a clunker.

 

Same here!

 

Completely normal. If you search you'll see many threads on it, at least once a month there's a new one.

 

I've noticed the same thing, glad to hear it's something so simple!

 

Just picked up a 2019 PRO and heard this about 4 times in 150 miles.

I crawled under the truck with grease guns in hand absolutely certain it was the carrier or splines on drive shaft needing greasing.

lol...no grease points on drive shaft.

This thread was a timely help.

 

My truck doesn’t do this, everyone of y’all is bat-shit crazy, or your negasonic converters are fugged.

 

It’s the ABS slipping one in the chamber.

 

Any chance your door locks were set to auto lock when you start driving for the first 11 years? If so, you would have heard the door locks over the sound of the ABS pump, same time, same speed.

My ‘08 Tundra does it, my ‘06 Tacoma did it...

 

I have this on my truck also, less than 1000 miles. Scared the sh*t out of me at first. It's a normal test and is stated in the manual as such. However, since I am a paranoid ass that has worked as a quality engineer for far too long, I wont be fully at ease until I test it myself. Planning to disable my abs for a few days to see if it goes away consistantly.

 

You don't have to go that far. It kicks in at about 6 MPH while going forward. Hammer it in reverse, keep it under 6 while going forward. You can go for miles without it as long as you keep it under 6. Once you hit 6, clunk.

 

Haha...its just so weird though, never heard of anything like this before.

 

To be fair, the manual doesn't really give any details on when to expect to hear it from what I recall.

 

Nor does the dealer when you bring it in, telling them there is a noise in the front end when taking off. DOPES !

 

Not normal truck is going to fly away at any moment!!!

 

My 2019 trd sport does it.dealer said it was the breaks no t to worry.

 

My 2019 has it. I don't like it either its the ABS checking the breaks.

 

Thank god ! So glad I found this. Just sold my 08' SR5 TRD w/ 230K mi which did NOT do this at all. Picked up the same truck but a 19' w/ 77K mi and this noise has been freaking me out ! Such an odd "engagement" type sound.

 

I have a 2021 trd off road and it makes the clunking noise.

 

Does it kinda sound like farting in a bathtub? I've noticed a weird sound when pulling out of a parking spot and straightening my wheel. I thought it was rubbing at first but I looked around the wheel wells and didn't see any signs and noticed the sound wasn't always at the same point of straightening the wheel, and it only happens after start up. I've kinda just be yolo-ing it until I saw this thread

 

You described it to a tee I don't know if this is what everyone is talking about. But mine does this. Drives me nuts cause I don't know what it is. But maybe this is what everyone is describing.
