Front rattle from hood grill area, 3 Toyota dealerships and still cant find it

Sounds metal to metal, New rubber stops put in both spots ( hood and grill areas) This is on a 2012 crew max SR5 Texas Edition. Hope someone has some ideas cause its driving me insane. Turning up the radio is not a fix

 

Good luck man I know noises like that can drive you crazy.

Part of the reason I sold my 1st gen was due to a noise that 4 different mechanics couldn’t locate.

Have you checked all of the heatshields and stuff like that?

 

I had a rattle in the cab that was driving me nuts thought it was in the dash found it the other day it was the rearview mirror needed tightened. I can not stand a rattle or squeak. Good luck.

 

How about the hood release contraption? That’s a long rod, and could have come out of its guides...?

 

that whole latch system has been replaced , fog lights tightened, radiator bracket fixed, skid pan removed

 

I have not checked those that will be next

 

Ill get one on my way home from work and see if I can get it posted
