The click noise still in, changed upper ball joint torqued 164/8 same xhit , the story continues need to check betther the brakes, can I took off the pads of these side, the car will brake ?

I am very frustate

[listy]

I had something like this, turned out to be a caliper bolt that wasnt quite done up all the way.

[Batmax]

Can you descrieb betther didn't understand please, thanks.

[listy]

On the inside of the calipers (side closest to the centre of the car) there are 2 bolts. One at the top, and one at the bottom. These are the ones that hold the calipers in place.

One of them on mine looked tight, but on closer inspection, it still had around half an inch to screw in.

Tightened it up, and the clinking is gone

[Batmax]

I don't think the problem be there because I have changed the bearing and we took off the all that parts, is freaking strange, need to analyze better Jesus !

 

Parts I already changed until now :

 

Suspension

Engine mounts

Wheel Bearing

Upper Ball Joint

[keron]

thats the rear frame on the front. just in front of that there is a alloy frame with 2 bolts / nuts on each side of the frame....these ones you should check also...

[lamboyello]

I have tein coilovers and I just had my geo setup done, since I got the car back last week this is happening with my car! It is now going back into the same shop to find out what has caused this. Very annoying noise.....

[Chris Wilson]

The ones you are looking for are not bolts, they are studs with nuts on. Buried up in the alloy casting of the forward subframe, unless directly underneath them they are hard to spot. Check the ones in the photo for torque though, too.

i got this clicking noise on mine to and it is the inner tie rod end :/ i see on youtube they use a special tool to shrew them of but can i do it without one? only a pipe wrench and a lot of power?

[Chris Wilson]

A pipe wrench is fine. Use high strength Loctite when fitting the new joint onto the rack bar. Do not OVER tighten and crack the rack housing or bend the rack bar, they do not have to be mega tight!

You do realise that radios are designed to drown out funny little noises that can become expensive to cure? Then another one pops up once you have fixed the first one! I'd have got used to the noise and had a few good nights out on what I'd saved....You know a noise is serious once you've had to wrestle the car back under control a few times after you hear it again, or one of your road wheels passes you on the motorway.

Same noise without any difference I push the car 1 or 2 meters front and rear I does the same only left change the lower arm will have to do that, if not cure will have to let the car to toyota to see if they can find where the problem came, very frustrating this fight , now I go slip I am very tired psychology.

Mine used to skip the tyre and make noise when turning to the right mainly, this is when i first got it, i changed the tyre size and it solved the problem

[caracol]

If you raise the front of the car and turn the wheels it makes the noise?

 

Sorry the portuguese:

Nuno o carro faz te o barulho mesmo com ele no ar ou só quando está no chão?

[Batmax]

If raise the car doesn't make the noise-

[caracol]

Nuno try to check was Hartmann said the upper suspension bearing or sometimes the sock absorber have a little rigid plastic to protect him from dust and dirt try to check this plastic to. I remember some time ago in the workshop where i put my car, one car with the same noise, and it was that annoying plastic.

[Batmax]

Thanks, but is the 3 setup I have in, any pic of that suspension bearing ?

[Chris Wilson]

If you jack all the weight off the front tyres and the noise stops it's almost certainly a worn outer ball joint on the bottom control arm (wishbone). There is probably play in it if you test it correctly. If the car has been run lowered this wear is much more likely, as well as if it runs on much wider tyres than stock.
