LCA bolts was.an issue way back ...And if it was still an issue there would be a recall by Toyota but I think they would have fixed this problem yrs ago .

Also latest TSB that I know of, T-SB-0078-12, is applicable to 2012 MY cars. There have been no changes to the front suspension since then, so if it can affect 2012 cars why can't it affect 2014 cars?

Please understand I am not trying to start an argument. I have already admitted the possibility that I may be wrong. I'm simply using a process of elimination and this is what I'm left with. It is a possibility, perhaps not a probability, that has not been addressed yet and it is going to cost me $14 and some time to address it. I am not invested in being right. I am invested in determining what is causing the clunk. If I'm right or if I'm wrong, either way I will have taken a step in solving the mystery.

The last 3 winters haven't been particularly bad but they salt the roads like crazy here. I mean you can preserve meat for several centuries with the amount of salt they use.
