“The trd pro tuned fox shocks make audible hollow 'thunk' sounds when traveling over small bumps or cracks in concrete at low speed (<15mph) when temperatures drop below 50 degrees f. It occurs in the front and rear shocks. The rear shocks also make excessive noise under the same weather conditions when turning in reverse from an incline to a flat surface.”

“I have experienced a persistent steering and suspension-related issue with my 2019 Toyota 4Runner since early ownership, beginning at approximately 6,800 miles.

I have 44k miles on my vehicle, and it has never been off road. 1. As of right now until I find someone to fix my suspension it can be inspected upon request 2. …”
