hey so i have this weird noise coming from the trunk area i believe..

it was on the drivers side but then it kind of stopped and now i can hear it on the passengers side. i can hear it on the slightest little bump in the road and its starting to annoy the crap outa me..

i dont think its the struts and all of the spare tire stuff is in the right position.. so anyone know what this could be?

Do you have a TRD RSB??
Mine TRD RSB does that cause there isn't any grease on the poly bushin's holdin' the RSB.

The bolt that holds the strut hat to the strut, all the way at the top buried beneath the rear deck/upholstery.

Might have bad strut mounts in general. Basically it's not your actual strut, but more of your strut assembly and all of it's "guts"...

It could be your (stock) RSB bushings.

I had same problem when hitting bumps- got them replaced 2 mo ago and no more clunking.
