Noise on 03 4runner
Question??...Has anyone been experiencing a noise from the back suspension on the 03 4runner...kinda metalic on SOME dips in the road..Don't know if this means anything or not but it's mostly when it's very cold ..seems to go away when it warms a bit..

I was checking the rear window and noticed the weatherstripping seems to be coming apart...maybe it's the glass..

Yeah I've been hearing the same noise from the back. I have an ' 04 and I've heard it for about the last 2 months. I too have removed everything back there and still have the noise. It only happens on some dips, sometimes with the left, some with right, and some when both sides dip. I haven't gotten around to seeing the dealer yet, but it is driving me nuts. What is a TSB? Please post your findings after the dealer takes a look at it and whether it went away with any work they did.

I already had the sunroof issue corrected, so I am not getting that noise anymore. I'll have to take mine to the dealer for some other stuff, so I'll have them look at it. The problem is, it won't happen when they check it out.

Thanks for getting back about that. I'm going to get that checked out in April when I have more time off from work. I'll make sure they get in the car with me. I'll repost when I do that. Thanks!
