What is the noise??

Our 2020 4Runner Off-Road Premium with KDSS has had this noise since new. It occurs when the car jostles side to side on rough road.

Two dealers acknowledged with me on a test drive that they hear the noise. They have seen two videos of the noise, which I can generate simply by shaking the vehicle side to side.
It is not the shocks/struts, and generally occurs when it's 50 degrees or warmer.

We have gone to 2 different dealers a total of 5 times, and they always call back a day later and say they cannot duplicate the noise.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

 

Sounds like brand new unlubricated sway bar bushings.

Side note: is that foam around your radiator?

It definitely sounds like a bushing. Have someone else shake the vehicle and lay under it and feel differing bushings with your hand. You’ll be able to feel the sound resonating. Use regular water in a spray bottle and spray down suspected bushings. Water will act as a lubricant but dry without contamination.

 

Radiators are semi sealed to force air to go through them instead of through gaps around them.

 

Sounds like my bed during sexy time

 

Thanks. I'll check that first.

 

Will do. Great idea, thank you.
