I have a 95 pickup.......Just recently rebuilt the locking hubs and completely replaced the brake system, within 6 months. When driving down the road, there is not noise at all in 2-wheel drive. When I shift into 4-wheel, I get a fast clunking that gets faster and slower with how fast the truck is going. It sounds like it is coming from the left side, but then again, it could be coming from somewhere else because all I have open while driving is the left window. I also get a grinding noise when braking in 4-wheel drive, but not 2-wheel. It makes me think it's the hubs? The clutch is going to go soon, but it definitely does not sound like the clutch. I just need somewhere to start looking around at some things please....? Thanks!

 

Could I get a little help with this please?

Thanks guys!

 

pull the hubs... maybe you did something wrong in the rebuild...

 

X's 2, especially if it was your first Asain hub rebuild and brake job

Welcome to YT by the way

 

Thanks guys, been lurking for a long time. But just got a hand-me-down 95 from my dad.......The truck is in great shape besides this one little draw back, and oh, the rust!

Ok, I will pull the hubs and see. I might just order some new ones as there are a couple sets on ebay for $100.......

 

Is the truck lifted at all? Increased driveshaft angle from a front diff drop was the culprit for a clunking on my truck. Otherwise, I agree with the hub theory. Does it make the noise when youre in 4x4 without the hubs locked?

 

Flash, the truck is not lifted, it's actually stock right now. I have yet to try the 4x4 without the hubs locked. I will try that tonight and report back. That should be a shurfire way of telling whether it's the hubs or not huh! Thanks!

 

Let's take a poll

I'm willing to put my money on a dislodged or improperly installed spring in the hub

hey at least it's an easy fix, lol

 

Oh come on, you know it's gonna turn out to be the muffler bearings...

 

I dunno, cause low headlight fluid can cause some strange noises too...

it's anyone's guess really

 

Better than factory? Hard to believe...

Edit: definitely a better way to go than questionable ebay hubs, though

 

that I will second

unless you know the seller on a personal level, and know he's a Toyota junky that knows his stuff, like maybe he's a YotaTecher too

 

They are used Aisin hubs from my year of truck! I have bought from them before, but I am leaning towards the suggested site from above.....Thanks!

 

buy em, send em to me, and I'll rebuild them and purdy them up for you for $50

 

I'll do it for $45 lol

 

$40!

 

Now that's a deal. Get it while you can

 

I won't go any lower, gotta pay for shipping back, paint supplies, and grease

 

I could go lower but that would mean outsourcing to thailand

 

Friend had same symptoms, it was one of his front axles. (left one) I would also check front u-joints.
