breeze 1,277 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi folk's . . . . . Any members on here that know there stuff on Toyota Hilux's . . . Preferably a Mark 4 pick up the same as I own. Last couple of month's while changing direction . . . Turning corner's, going around roundabout's there has been a Dull knock clunk sound, firstly as your turning the corner and then again as you straighten up When the clunk's arise there's no feeling of it thru the steering at all Had a mechanic out few week's back and couldn't really find any movement in anything but as a 1st attempt / cheep fix he changed pair of bushes on the Anti roll bar. But this hasn't worked. He's been again this morning checking for any movement with a bar while the motor is on the ground and also jacked up. He's baffled with it and again can't find anything obvious. Anyone with any experience of this or might know what it could be ? ? Any info appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sounds like the protective covers have come of the "bump stops" there are 2 on each front wheel, and only make contact on full lock. It's a common problem with Hilux's.. Use spray grease, on all four should stop it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
