    I have a 2018 4runner that I've been hunting to fix a sound since the day i got it . I did take it in under warranty numerous times but nothing was found accoring to the dealership. This is a sound that something just feels loose only at very slow speeds. Speed bumps and going in reverse down the driveway make this sound. The best way I can explain this sound, is if there was play in a bolt. It is a hollow sound, not a clank and not a bushing sound. It sounds as if something just simply isn't tight enough. I have king shocks and a icon delta joint, that I just greased up tonight and all of that is rock solid. This sound has been going on prior to the shock install. The suspension installation reduced this sound by a fair amount. This is what further stumps me because i thought it had somethign to do with the uca long bolt. But that's all solid now. I had it aligned a few months back, So I'm only assuming the lca bolt is tight, I could be wrong. Other than the uca bolt, which i could look at next, what are the other culprits? Thanks

    Put a little grease on the hood latch and striker to see if it does the trick.

    You can laugh at this suggestion, but only after you grease it. :)

    Make sure the spare tire is up tight. The spare on my Tacoma makes a noise going over speed bumps.
