rick001 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Please can someone help me, i have suddenly become aware of an annoying metal clanking sound when going over bumpy roads/speed humps etc, its like a nut & bolt thats loose knocking on something or brake pipe loose in a clip - i have recently had my front discs changed and i took it back for them to try to figure it out but no luck. Its driving me crazy as i know its there.... rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazla Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 My last supe had the same knocking, tapping, hollowing metallic noise in the exhaust. The garage said it was probably just abit of metal weld or small stone bouncing around because of the heat. It was really annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick001 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 i hear it only when i go over something bumpy then it knocks - during even travel no contact and then "Annoying knock" when wheels go over a bump etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 As with rick i only get this noise when moving, generally over bumps, surely a heat sheild would rattle just on revving, i get no noise when stationary. I'm thinking pads now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm thinking bushes or joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 A good one to check is the Sub frame bolts. These can become loose and cause knocking noises. Worth a check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick001 Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 I have sorted 1 of the rattles, upon acceleration, it was the down pipe support bracket to gear box that was snapped causing the rattle, ordered new from Toyota £20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
