I like being somewhat honest here. I'm on lowering springs and konis the car is getting looked at in 30 minutes no time to swap.

You're not nearly as low as me, AND you car is an auto, I'd say that helps you in terms of "is this a competition car." Let us know what happens.

Yes, exact same failure as pictured.

Are they covering it under warranty? If so, I need to figure out how they can for me because I'm lowered also.

Yes. I'm on koni yellows and Rce springs. Also a automatic. First thing he said was normally he sees this on a manual car but not a auto. Not sure if that helped my case. Never once did he mention the car was lowered. However I did mention to the service dude first that a member who got denied was due to being lowered a ton. I'm only lowered the same amount recommend by Trd and I'd be pissed if I was denied. To be honest I didn't know it was coming. He torqued the nut Saturday Monday they asked me if I was still hearing it. I said only when putting it into gear but not like I had. Which is the truth I was hearing it on acceleration and decell. But now only hearing when brake torquing the car to launch it. You can bring me up but I don't want my info being given to them. Don't need to be thrown under the buss.

Oh I know, I would just say "another member" and keep it as general as possible. Thank you for that info! Where have you seen the thing about what TRD says to lower it? I'm on stock struts with RCEs.

Glad you're getting warranty coverage on this!

The Trd coil over is either 15mm drop or 20mm. The Rce springs are 20mm.

I've had the clicking/ticking from the front right axel for 7-8kish miles. Guess I should watch out now.

Ummm... there is no axle in the front of the car.

WillRacer1jz · 08-19-2013, 06:08 AM

My drivrs side axel started clicking :-( time to make an appointment at the dealership. My car is all stock except for a k&n filter.

TRev · 08-27-2013, 10:57 AM

My driver axle has started clicking as well. It comes and goes but is mostly only present when I first start driving the car after it has been sitting. I can recreate the issue even when not present by loading up the car against the e-brake. Not what I wanted to deal with right before Nationals but better than it breaking out there. May have to just order one and put it in myself as I don't think the dealer will be able to get through the warranty process prior to me leaving for Lincoln.
