Does your Sequoia make this noise?
Can someone make this into a "poll" thread? I don't see how to or else I would.
This is related to my previous thread about the noise we hear/feel in our '04 Sequoia Limited when turning. It's driving me CRAZY! My wife said that another '04 Limited on the dealer's lot made the noise, and I drove a friend's '04 SR5 w/ 16" Michelin's that also made the noise, but much less than our's. Since my friend's SR5 with Michelin's does it, I guess I can say that it isn't our Bridgestone's that are causing it. It isn't a squealing noise either. It is an on/off/on rubbing sound that can be felt through the floorboards as well as being audible. I haven't driven an older Sequoia, so I don't know if it is caused by some new parts/design. To see if your Sequoia does it - (1) turn steering wheel one complete revolution (either right or left) from straight ahead position while stopped on a flat, smooth parking lot, (2) turn your radio and climate controls down so they aren't masking the noise, (3) release brake and tap throttle to get the truck going in a fixed 5-10 mph circle. The Sequoia seems very smooth when rolling straight, but when in a turn it seems to make a intermittent rubbing sound. My next experiment will be to turn the wheels and try to raise both front wheels up off the ground while still keeping pressure on the springs/shocks. I'll then spin the tires to see if there is smooth movement or any rubbing. I'd REALLY like to fix this!!!!!!
thanks
