For me, the noise started about a week after the trans skid install and after 3 or 4 trips out wheeling. I had not had an alignment in about 5-6 months so I really didn’t expect it to be LCA cam pins but, otherwise the video says it all. Thank you for watching and I hope this helped!

Thank you for this. I have the clunk with a full set of RCI skids and I was pretty sure it was the skids, but I didn't know where. Now I know where to start.
Let me know if this fixes it!
Driving me nuts thanks! Stinks I just did my struts/ shocks at my buddy’s shop and had it on his lift wish I would have seen this prior I could have gotten this done quick
I can feel your pain, but I am extremely satisfied that this information was able to help you out.
@@stephenviggiano1610 I subscribed too! Great stuff!
@@trdpro2012 thank you so much!
You are a legend thank you so much
I am glad to help!
Have the same issue with my trd skid and rci skid. This was super helpful. To confirm is a fender washer just a normal metal washer or rubber? Also you placed that washer in between the transmission skid plate and the rubber spacer ?
A fender washer is just a wide washer. Like it spreads out and covers a lot of surface area.
I have the subframe, RCI bushing, then fender washer for tiny bit of extra gap, then the TRD skid.
Hope this helps further 😎
changing the subject... I like that rear bumper you have on your truck. What brand is it?
The brand and model is the “Barricade HD”, I ordered it through ExtremeTerrain’s website.
gotta ask because this truck is CLEAN. What are you using to give your fenders that clean matte finish?
Just try to wash mud off after wheeling trips pretty quick, then McGuires Back to Black primarily.
Regular washing. I do use a brush, when it’s really dirty I use the double bucket method.
Wax quarterly.
Undercarriage gets cleaned after really muddy trips. One rinse, one mild pressure wash, follow up with hand washing.
Then cover the entire undercarriage with INOX MX3.
I use black magic foam spray.
He probably doesn’t live in the northeast where we have harsh winters and salt on the road but looks amazing. I got my 2016 TRD pro from PA over the NY border where I live and they use sand for the winter roads but it makes a huge difference.
@@trdpro2012 oh for sure. I’m in the coastal area of SE Georgia.
We have our own difficulties every now and then with very high tides that sometimes come up onto some of the roads but that’s about it.
The only sand and salt we see regularly is when we drive on the beach.
I got a question, I have a camper shell on my Tacoma with a 2 inch lift up in front and a 1.5 AAL rear, but the rear is sagging so much.. what should
I do to fix the level? Would
Sumo springs work?
Helper springs would possibly work but I’m not super knowledgeable on this exact topic.
Of course the added weight is causing the sag and the only fixes are spacers or heavier and more durable springs.
Check around on Tacoma World or maybe some of the Facebook groups before you spend money.
Change out the oem leaf springs with the aal to the icon rxt leaf pack. You have 3 options depending on your weight
You nailed it! Went through the same inspection of all suspension parts and nothing. Knock made me crazy!
I knocked on my skids and they felt tight.
Time for a bushing!
Thanks!
I’m so glad that it worked for you too!
Isn’t it a breathe of fresh air to get rid of that dang sound?
@@stephenviggiano1610 Bingo dude. Used an 1/8” rubber washer between the trans skid and the cross member and a thinner rubber washer beteeen the trans skid and the engine skid.
No more knock. Thanks again for posting this info 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@stephenviggiano1610 and bummer dude you went OTT - I’m a KDMax tuner 😆 - anything is better than stock!
@@chaoticgood3935 trust me, I legitimately feel some level of guilt due to how chill my KDMax tuner is.
I have the trd skid also. And its knocking in slow turns. Driving me crazy! I loosened the bolts and it helped a little but its still there. So the fender washers should fix it? Everything else suspension wise is torqued and solid
That or some thin rubber bushings.
Do you only have an engine skid or do you have the TRD engine skid and a trans skid?
If you have both of those skid plates, the likelihood that they bang on each other, while turning or going over bumps increases dramatically.
I only have that six bolt TRD pro skid plate. The truck has a 2inch lift. I really don’t want to have to get rid of the skid, do the washers/ rubber bushings go on the 2 bolts in the rear of the plate?
@@brianf1500 try taking the plate all the way off and driving around. Take some hard turns, hit some bumps at a little bit of speed. See if that fixes the issue entirely. If that is not it, then it might be a lower control arm bolt or a number of other things.
Where’d you get that front bumper?

Foot pounds. Only pound feet to music.
Wrong my friend but it’s ok. Most of the US has this wrong.
“Torque is always measured in force at a radius. The correct measurement is lbf-ft or “pounds force foot”, which we shorten to pound-feet”.
@@stephenviggiano1610 force isn't a linear measurement.(feet) It's been foot pounds for at least 150 years.
@@richardvalitalo3670 “No one argues that the correct unit of measure when applying torque to a fastener is the pound-foot.”
Read up my friend. It’s not a big deal bc we all understand what we are talking about but regardless, when tightening a bolt, the proper term is pound-foot.
@@richardvalitalo3670 “SAE standard J1349, Table 1 lists the units of measure used in the standard as “N-m or lb-ft” for torque.
…The fact that the SAE lists the “pound-foot” as the official unit of measure for engine torque should win you pretty much any argument of semantics you find yourself in.”
