I have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 auto trans. Everytime I come to a complete stop it makes a low thumping sound of sorts. I don't suspect it is a defect. I think it is normal. It sounds as if something is disengaging.
Any ideas what it is and if it should be looked at by a technician? My wife is concerned about it and I have procrastinated finding out the cause.
have you searched on axel wrap?
How about a rear brake grabbing? does it make the same noise once when you start up from the stop?
Oftentimes it makes a similar but much less pronounced noise when I start off again.
Is that some type of clothing for hard rock singers?
Could be that a rear brake is grabbing as you slow down, making the noise you are referring to, then once fully stopped the brake is "locked" and when you take off from the light, it breaks the lock and make the thud again. I had the same thing on an oldsmoboat with rear drum breaks, the catching / locking / grabbing, what ever you want to call it could be from a small leak of fluid on the pads, or ??? I'd get the brakes checked out.

It's used for cool weather when you need something light but not too cold when you need an axel coat. :-) davidj92
Yeah, I caught the typo, but after posting. Owell.
Everyone does it from time to tiime. :-) davidj92
So what did he mis-type? I really am lost here.
I will have a technician service it. Thanks.
I meant to say Axel Rap. That's a form of 4 x 4 modern 'music'.
Axle, as in an axle for a vehicle. Axel, as in Axel Rose, lead singer in Guns n Roses.
