Thread: Noise in the truck(toyota 4x4)

Tweet

I was driving my wifes truck this week, when I kept hearing a squeeking noise. It seemed to be coming from the passenger side of the truck. I looked under the seat, behind the seat etc.. as my wife uses the truck as her personal kitchen, and garbage can! I had noticed the sound before Christmas, and basically did the same thing then. Today, my day off, I'm driving the truck to a mandatory work related apt. when I hear the sound again. On the highway it seems to go away, but boy its annoying in the city. So I pulled into the driveway, and started looking under the wheel wells. I notice this little valence piece of metal right above the shock absorber, is hanging by one nut and flapping around. In the past, almost all the new noises are plates or coffee mugs stashed behind the seat. I hate noises as they usually equate to big bills, but was relieved to find the source at a cheap cost to repair! Do share your noise stories!

I think Beano would take care of those "smells"......

When I worked at FOMOCO in KCMO in the late 70's I remember one of the "new" Fairmonts came down the line with an empty fifth bottle of bourbon rattling around inside inside the door. Used to see things like that pretty regularly. Not real often, just enough that it would generate a chuckle. I never could figure out how those guys smuggled that stuff in there.

Back in the 70's, I had someone bring a newer Lincoln in, because of a occasional rattle , there was a ball bearing in the door, and a note that said "Rich Bastard"
