Any fix to this?? I have the same issue. Suspension feels fine a speed. Just pops in my driveway.

Likely rear deck crwaking noise , their is TSB out on that

The EPS is also known to clunk and rattle at slow speeds over small bumps like road reflectors. There is a rubber bushing that couples the motor to the worm gear that falls apart. This part isn’t sold separately for our car but Toyota sells it for several of their other cars. It’s $4 and easy to install. I wrote a DIY on installing the part. When I get to a computer I will dig up the link and update this post.

Hi guys - does my video below sound similar to your issue?

Did you find out what it was in the end?

Bump as it sounds like I'm having the same noises. Mostly from the rear of the car/underneath the centre console.

Any updates on this? I'm also having similar noises but unable to find out the source. Front passenger side for me.

will86 · 07-09-2019, 02:48 AM

Mine was fixed by greasing the front anti roll bar

Honestly, I think the source of my rattle is my exhaust moving around. I switched to an extended hanger on one side of the muffler to level out the tips in the rear, and my rattle/creak under the centre and rear of the car has gotten a bit worse.

Not sure how to keep the exhaust from moving around, I’ve only had this issue since a few months after switching to a JDL 4-2-1 EL header.

I'm getting the same noise on the driver side, stock struts on RCE yellow springs. Started a couple months ago with a single pop when backing up and turning out of my driveway. It is now several quick pops when in reverse and then a couple again when moving forward, all with the wheel cranked pretty hard. I checked sway bar end links on both sides, went so far as to remove one endlink and drive around that way. No change. I replaced the driver side strut top hat today. No change.

This is the first time I've seen someone suggest the sway bar itself needs to be lubed - I can't rule that out since I never disconnected both end links, the bar still would have been moving around. Going to try that next.

Simulating turning by putting a low profile jack under the tire doesn't result in the clicking. I think it requires suspension movement with different loads on each side along with steering turns.

I'll update after lubing up the sway bar mounts.

Hey mate,
Sorry to revive
Did you manage to fix it?

toast · 09-14-2022, 09:08 AM

I wound up pulling the sway bar mounts off and relubing to fix it. Permanent fix was adding a zerk fitting to each mount and squirting lube in each spring.
