    My 2008 toyota 4runner has a clunking sound as i am about to take off from a complete stop. I can tell when it will happen because when i am almost stopped, with my foot on the brake, my car feels like it surges forward. I have to push on the brake pretty hard to keep it from doing this. Then when i take my foot off the brake to proceed, there is a "clunk" from the back end. I took it to my totally dealership today…

    2008 toyota 4runner clunk felt and heard when coming to a stop and when releasing the brakes to go. After researching it is obvious that there is a design flaw with the driveshaft slip joint in the toyota. The lexus gx470 is identical yet lexus customers can have this problem fixed and there is a tsb issued for the lexus (l-sb-0116-08). *tr
