Had the same noise on one of my 2007 Tacomas, put on some superlube grease as that’s what I had convenient, and it definitely made a noticeable difference. Thanks, should have done it when I replaced the diff bolts a year ago.

Had the same noise, especially loud driverside, pulling in and out of my driveway. I applied silicone grease to the diff mounts and swaybar bushings. It worked. Thanks for your video.

TRD aluminum skid plates as well as most other aftermarket aluminum skid plates cause these noises as well. You have to get them gorilla tight for them to quiet up a bit. There's a service bulletin about the TRD skid plates at the dealer. I think it's just due to a little amount of flex in the frame/skid plates. Steel skid plates do not make the noise. Of course, mine is most noticeable pulling in/out of driveway.

I have been researching like crazy trying to see if others have the same popping noise, and your video is spot on. I have a 2021 Tundra and will try what you did on my truck.

Thanks for sharing E! My 2021 Sport has been making noises as I park my truck in our driveway. Like I had mentioned, my son-in-law was working on his car in the driveway and noticed unusual noise.

Looking forward to your update, just got a Tacoma and started to hear this noise. Thank you for this video 🙏

Thanks for posting this. I have the same noise on my Tacoma and I couldn't find the problem.

Hearing the same exact noise on my 2014 Tundra 1794. I hear it when slightly turning the wheel parked and driving. Just bought the truck a month in a half ago but I just started to hear the pop/clicking noise a week or two ago.

Thank you for this video it is exactly the same problem that I am having with my 2018 truck.

Thanks for the video. Im going to check these bushings next. Been getting worse as the weather gets worse. I just tightened my lower control arms. Which ive never messed with so they just got loose over time. Wouldnt doubt if my diff did too

I have the same popping / banging noise coming from the front of my 2019 Pro when I turn hard either way. Can’t figure out where it’s coming from. Everything else looks fine (arms, sway bar, tie rods, etc.) Going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing.

My 2018 trd off-road 4x4 does same clicking noise when turning full lock. Big thank you for sharing. I’m hoping that it’ll fix the clicking noise. Thanks

Great video thank you for this

2018 TRD OR doubleCab short bed and mine just started at 84k miles. Freaked me out the first time I heard it. Gonna try what you did just tighten the up and see of that fixes the issue.

I would have never thought it could be those mounts causing it. Mine was mainly turning passenger and reversing, pop on the driver side. Just greased mine up and so far no more popping. Will need to drive more to confirm. Thanks for the video!

I got a 2016 trd off road and it has the same popping! I’m going try it!! Hopefully it works!

I’ve had a lot of popping noises but mine have been my shocks. They’ve been replaced under warranty 2x already and I’m only at 28k on my 2021. The first set went out at 19k. I’ll inspect for this sound because sometimes I get a weird popping noise after I park my truck.

Damn tacomas! I have a 22 tacoma TRD sport that has that exact same noise and it drives me crazy! I’ve spent so much money replacing things and nobody has been able to pin point the issue and it’s just become “ lets replace this, let’s try this”, and still the noise is still around. Running out of money😮‍💨😮‍💨😂 This has been about the closest to the example of the issue that I’ve come across! I offroad too so it’s hard to really know? I’ve bashed my skid plate a number of times so im interested to check this out!

Got a 2023 doing the same thing. Just got it 3 weeks ago and started noticing it. Was going to let the dealer look at it.

Going to try it this weekend I hate the noise it’s driving me crazy !!

Having the same issue. I'll give this a go.

Hey Eric, how's your Taco been driving? Is the noise gone?

Great video. I just took my 2017 Tacoma sport long bed. I only have 23k miles. And the clicks or pops started 2-4 years ago but got lazy and decided to take it to the mechanic. They called me today and said can’t duplicate the problem. So they will try again tomorrow if they don’t find anything I will try tightening them Any idea what the torque specs are for those? It first started hearing it when I made a u turn and my and it was when I turned it to the max. Later started hearing it when going into a dip slow. I will try to keep people posted here. As long as I can find this video again lol

Was it ever a really loud pop/bang? It happens to mine every so often, hasnt happened in a while but I could never figure it....I am assuming this what it is?

Id did the change you made above - but the only time it makes the same noise as pre "fix" (grease packing) - is when at stand still, brake applied and turning the wheel either direction figured id add that little tidbit to the pile of replies here

do you have part number or link where to get the replacement mounts, can't find them for 3rd gen

will try this soon, DRIVING ME NUTS

I did exactly what you did this afternoon and unfortunately it’s still making the noise. I appreciate the video though. Maybe it’s time to try the sway bar bushings, I don’t know?…

My 2015 makes a sound similar to that on the passenger side but its when you're hitting little bumps instead of turning. Am thinking maybe sway bar link, ball joint, or strut.

Did this solution hold up? Got the exact same issue going on with my 2019 40k miles.

Yes it's a common problem because a friend of mine owns a Toyota and has the same issue.

Man if any of u are having a click/clunk on front end when momentum shifts {backing out of driveway, reverse to drive etc} its the brake pads!!!!! The holes in the pads where the pins go thru oblong and click, reverberating off the dust cover so its hard to ID and loud. Cheap and need replacing anyway, try it.

2018 and I’m having the same annoying and loud popping but it’s continually getting worse. Toyota dealership couldn’t find anything.

Front body mount or sheet metal is cracked at or around the body mount. Basically every 3rd gen Tacoma has this issue. Mine made this noise at 35k miles and still does at 75k.

What grease do you recommend using?

Do those mounts just drop right out? Or there is some tension or pulling to it

I have the same problem except that whenever i go over a bump, it makes a pop noise. Do you think its the same issue?

Did this fix it?

I only get a popping after 4wd is engaged. It only stops when I go into fwd

I got a 2020 and does the same noise when I turn/reverse

I will do that to mine is driving me crazy

Literally makes me not want my truck, what the fucks the point of dropping 35k on a brand new vehicle if it sounds like the 20 year old pos I just got rid of. Would’ve just kept the old one.

I got this same noise, mine is on the right passenger side. I was like wtf is that
