Toyota Tacoma rear end clunk. Problem solved! There are many posts and forums on this rear end noise issue.
After greasing the drive shaft and checking the slip yoke, the noise was still there. I found the issue on my Tacoma to be with the rear air bags or lift kit.
It was a clunking noise or snapping noise caused when the rear end articulated. Particularly when braking and voming to a stop.

You mentioned the rear diffs of these trucks have backlash, do you have any resources that talk about that? I've got an all original 2011 taco that is clunking and I think there is play in the rear end, wondering if I'm describing the same thing. Backlash to me is usually referring to the gears in the diff grinding

@pstreetgarage7304 Месяц назад

@@carvereller688 Yes these are known for backlash (according to what I have read). They also mention to keep a close eye on the u joints and greasing them regularly. My issue was with the aftermarket rear air bags. Was pretty intense but I got it sorted now. My driveline seems fine.

It almost looks like it's put on backwards. That's why rear shocks go opposite in mounting. Rear axel twists a little at take off and stopping. But a good rubber gasket idea. I thought ypu were gonna say you ran over the blue turd car.

@pstreetgarage7304 Год назад

HaHa. Ive been driving the turd lately

Nice find Stephan. Those noises can drive you nuts for sure 🥴 BTW Do you have the Tacoma undercoated every once in a while?

@pstreetgarage7304 Год назад

Yes it was a real pain but noise is gone now. I get undercoating done once a year and I touch it up also pretty regularly.

@pstreetgarage7304 why a undercoating? I have a 2023.... do I need that as well?, southern indiana area

@pstreetgarage7304 Год назад

@@ronsmith8434 I live in Nova Scotia Canada. Without undercoating this truck as well as any vehicle would rot out in no time. Even if I lived south, I apply some rust proofing.

I live on the east coast and I undercoat My truck every year and looks fantastic underneath No rust 2015 tacoma

@george2pak Год назад

I don't think it is a good idea for you to drive with 50 psi in your air bags when the truck is empty. Max 20 psi. I will recommend 15 psi empty for every day driving.

@pstreetgarage7304 Год назад

Ok. I got this info on line. Thank you, where did you get yours ???? I appreciate it

@george2pak Год назад

@pstreetgarage7304 The purpose of the airbags is for keeping the car leveled when loaded, not used as a lift kit. When you lift your rear like in the video, the angle of the drive shaft changes, which can destroy the differential or U joints.

@@george2pak You are correct, I think my next step is toblower the carrier bearing assembly. Cheers !
