Suspension HELP PLS - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hi everybody!
My problem is that whenever i stop slowly i hear creaking noise and/or a clunking from the front ... So i did a little research and found out that it could be the springs,struts,mounts ? and maybe just some loose bolts... But I don`t know... So i wanna ask if anybody expirienced it on their GEN4 and what did you guys change ? I don`t wanna change and pay unless it needs to ....( If you think to advice me to change the struts and springs can you please name a good combination

THANK YOU

The gen 4's have always had problems with their strut mounts -- that is most likely what the problem is from your description. If it isn't the strut mounts, it could be something like a cv boot/axle.

most likely strut mounts. i have the problem when i go over a pot hole at 10mph. it sucks but i am living w/ it till i have $$ to change the suspension

So only the strut mounts maybe ?

New strut mounts and new strut bearings, probably ought to get rid of that noise.
