Hey! As I just posted, I have a 2011 Highlander and this problem has been going on forever on the driver's side. Can you just tell me what the name of the part is that needs to be taken care of? If I take it into a mechanic I just want to be intelligent in terms of where I point them. So far, no one has ever been able to diagnose it correctly.

We have an almost identical noise in our 2008 Highlander. The garage has never figured out what it is, but suggested either a ball joint with play (but not enough to see when it's being examined on the rack) or something internal (possibly internal component which can't be reached). I'm glad this was identified as it may make it easier to find the problem with ours.

@@karwask1the problem is nobody can tell you what is wrong unless they physically touch it. This is just one example like he said. There is your answer below on your comment post but it could be any suspension part. Ball joints, control arm bushing. Loose rack. Loose subframe bolt. It's not only this he showed.

322,900. Believe I am the 4th owner. Son replaced head gasket last year, going strong, but burning oil now, slowly, but it is spraying on the exhaust manifold causing the burning oil smell. AT-205 has slowed the leak significantly.

@@darrenmahaffy2582 Kilmer loves that 205 lol. Suggest you bump it up one weight. If the recommended was 5-20 do 5-30. It if was 5-30 try 10-30. Thicker oil will slow it.

@@darrenmahaffy2582 Ps, if it's coming out of the exhaust only and burning off that way, that's not burning oil that's jeat leaking oil. Burning oil means it burns it up in the combustion chamber. And the catalyst is being poisoned as it swallows that oily exhaust. Which is worse. A little oil spray isn't bad. Free anti-rust undercoating.

@@LAactor I've been toying with bumping from 5w30 to 10w30, read a bit on the matter, currently have 5w30 full syn. After the gasket replacement, son put in 5w30 dino oil and there was barely a leak. So there's that.

A 'clunking sound' is never good. I had to change those away bar connectors on my old 2000 Expedition. I never knew they were bad until I looked under there and saw that all the rubber bushings were gone! It is always a good idea to look under your vehicle once in a while and see if anything is leaking, loose, torn, or even missing like my rubber bushings were. Try to shake all the steering connectors. You feel any play, get it fixed just be careful they don't replace stuff you don't need.

Maybe a strut or suspension spring, my car needed new tires because it would align straight when driving 🚘

I have a 2011 Highlander and I've been having this problem for a very long time on the driver's side. So far no dealership or mechanic has been able to diagnose it. Can someone give me the exact name of the part we're talking about so I can communicate effectively next time I try to get it fixed? Thanks so much
