chasing some advice on a squealing CV Joint on a Jan 18 build Hilux Sr5, The vehicle has had a Dobinson GVM upgrade to 3500kg, over the last 40k km, there has been a pronounced squeal develop, specifically at idling speed,
Toyota were a nightmare to deal with, there response to the noise was 3 times attributed to the Engine Drive belt, and if you could believe, was told last week after the Recall for and fitment of a new DPF, that that was where the noise was coming from and was now Fixed!!
I obviously didn't take that as an answer and subsequently have had it back and have been told that the Suspension upgrade is the problem, CV boot had allowed dirt etc. to enter and that was causing the squeal. Since cleaning and repacking with Lube, Noise has stopped.
Question is, I have been advised this will happen again, Has any one had the same issue, and if you did, What would you recommend? Fitting New Upper control arms e.g. Black hawk and answer?
Thanks All, Appreciate constructive advice
