Just put my 94 Runner on the road for a test drive. Driving out the driveway I noticed a lot of noise coming from the rear as I traveled over bumps. The noise was more like a binding or popping noise. This is my first yota with coil suspension. Besides the shocks being shot, what should I be looking for that would make such noise. I pulled over and gave the rear bumper a vertical push/pull to try and replicate the nosie, but nothing. The tire carrier was snug as a bug.

 

sway bar mounts on the frame or at the outter end links maybe?

 

Bushings are probably rusted solid.

Mine were.

 

bushing on the control arm or stabilizer?

 

Probably the control arms (all 4 of them)

 

Guessing you replaced the bushings?

 

No, I rebuilt the whole darn suspension ... but that's me.

Blast that ferrous rubber. Blast it to hell.

My PCV valve grommet was stone hard when I bought the truck.
