Hard thumping noise

[Roag]

A HARD THUMPING NOISE THAT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN COMING TO A STOP.

Any one can help me with this problem? Toyota dealer change the drive shaft but the problem persist.

Tacoma TRD 2013

I would think a 2013 would still be under guarantee.

Axle wrap. Pretty common issue with these trucks.

I was going to say axle wrap but normally there is no noise.

I know about the warranty but they said its normal my question is someone has the same problem?

 

[Roag]

Toyota already changed the Axcel shaft but the problem persist, once you stop the truck, feel like some one hit in the back

 

[whippersnapper02]

If it is just a feeling it is normal axle wrap. It is a normal issue on all 2nd gen Tacomas. Turning on your AC really gets it to move around at a stop.

Ok,thanks fot inf. But I started feel it after 3k miles

The suspension is loosening up.

I've got almost 15,000 on mine, nothing like that for me. Doesn't sound pleasant though.

It really isn't a big deal. It's a slight bump when at a light but it fells like someone hit you. Just keep your foot on the brake and pay attention to your rear view.

It's happening also in the tundra model, but it's no normal and the Toyota said its normal

 

[whippersnapper02]

It's normal. These transmissions have tight converters and weak leaf springs. Should it happen? No but no vehicle is perfect. The rear of my buddy's GTO moves up and down as you shift from reverse to drive because of the torque from the engine. That doesn't mean there is something wrong. Chrysler FWD transmissions make a rattle sound when shifting back to first. Nothing wrong there either.

It is the "personality" of the vehicle.
