An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Toyota's are a joy to work on. Top notch engineering. Everything is easily accessible.

It's been making a "click/pop" sound whenever you accelerate or brake hard. I spent some time investigating but I'm still not sure what's causing that.

Toyotas make oil changes so easy. Look up "drive shaft clunk", might be what you're experiencing

What'd you do with the oil?

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Take it back to the auto parts store for recycling.

You ever try to mold the used oil back into a dinosaur?

I had a Toyota that made clicking sounds on accel/breaking and speedbumps some years ago. In my case the ball-joints on the front wheel assembly were worn and had some slack causing the clicking.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

how loud is the click pop and where is it coming from?

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Very loud and distinct sound. Not sure exactly where it's coming from but it sounds like it's near the front wheels.

Everything related to the drive train, suspension, etc. is in good shape. I'm thinking it could be engine mounts.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

yea, If it's a dull loud clank and your mounts aren't flush, certainly could be.

So I’m sure it’s not your issue, but

Few weeks back I was able to solve the persistent clunk/scrape sound I had when pulling to a stop and when pulling away. I had assumed it was driveline but turned out the upper trans cooler mount had rusted away so it was flopping back and forth when stopping/starting. Zip tied it for now. When it’s warmer out I’ll bend up a new bracket from some scrap.
