Re: 4X4 problem

The majority of the 4Runners have part-time 4WD. You shouldn't have it in 4WD on dry pavement. The drive train will bind. Only use the 4WD under poor traction conditions.

Cool Re: 4X4 problem

What Year is Your 4Runner?
If you have CV Joints in your front end it could be one of them gone on the Left Side.
If you have a solid axle in your front end it could be a U Joint or Universal on the left side of your axel.
Just my opinion.
Good Luck.

Re: 4X4 problem

Whether IFS or solid axle, it's still a CV joint. Toyota doesn't use a U-joint in the front axles.

But I vote failing CV joint also.

Talking Re: 4X4 problem

Well it might not be a U joint but where I come from we called it a Universal in the front axle of a solid axle and a CV or Constant Velocity Joint in an IFS front end.
Sorry about the mix up.

Re: 4X4 problem

As I said above, you are not supposed to use the vehicle in 4WD unless you are under poor traction conditions. Don't do it and you won't have the noise.
