After stopping the rear end will 'clunk' when either letting off the brakes, or upon accelerating. This will occur roughly 1/10th of the time regardless or variation in braking pressure or acceleration. I've tried every combination of gentle to hard stops and stops with little change in the frequency of the issue. This only started to occur after 53k miles. The dealer told me the 4runner needed more lube, their fix…

I own a 2006 toyota 4-runner after about 40,000 miles we started experiencing a clunking sound and the vehicle would lurch forward while taking your foot off the brake while at a complete stop. I addressed this with my local toyota dealer and at the time they didn?t know what it was. This problem persisted from a once and awhile issue to doing it every time. I spoke with another person who had a v8 and the same…

At about 32,000 miles my truck started to feel as if it had been rear ended when i would stop at a stop light. At first it was very light, but it has since gotten worse. I took it in to the toyota dealer and was told that they lubed the drive shaft. The drive shaft is sealed, so i asked how that could possibly help and he had no answer other than to say just see if it fixes the problem. The problem is still there…

I own a 2006 toyota 4 runner with a clung in the driveline. It happens when you stop at a stop light, especially the long ones. You think a car has bumped you in the rear but no one is there. It is very disconcerting. It doesn't happen every time. Initially the dealer thought that it was due to the antilock brakes activating. They were not suppose to activate under 3 mph but the speedometer was off about 2 or 2 1/2…
