Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / July 2006Hilux SR5 Clunk Front end
Hi I have 2003 Toyota Hilux When I go around a corner there is a loud clunk as I straighten up the steering wheel. So far they rebuilt the first gear as It was also jumping out of gear. Anyone else suffering the same noise!  SignatureMal www.mals.net > Hi I have 2003 Toyota Hilux > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Anyone else suffering the same noise! Not suffering the noise. It's difficult to draw any reasonable conclusions from your description. What speeds, or amount of steering lock causes the "clunk"? Is it only in first gear? Are bumps (and therefore suspension movement) involved. I'm assuming you have an IFS model, does it have free-wheeling hubs, or ADD? Sorry to hear about it jumping out of 1st gear. I have the opposite problem at present, my automatic Hilux only occasionally goes into 1st gear, and then only when cold. I suspect this is going to cost me more than a flush and filter change...... -- >> Hi I have 2003 Toyota Hilux >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > occasionally goes into 1st gear, and then only when cold.

No noises with my Hilux the same year as yours. Have you jacked up the front and checked for any clunks or movement when you wobble the wheels? Have you checked the wheel nuts? Have you checked under the bonnet for anything moving around, is the battery secure?
