But unless it’s just something wearing back in, it has to go back, because something is rubbing.

When/where do you notice the rubbing?

Front suspension, just driving down the road, not accelerating. The suspension came off, so I called and asked, and they said it’s *probably* settling back in.

Settling back in? Haven’t heard that before.

Settling out is more likely..

I swear that 4runner is looking better and better.

Did you have them upgrade a metal oil pan while they were in there?

I’d love it if you asked them what’s settling in and you provided us with their  answer. This is modern car with modern suspension, not a eastern block Lada   There is nothing to settle in, unless they’re hoping that whatever is rubbing will just rub off.

Nope, still not. I like being able to take the highway, and corners.

I dunno. I’ve never had a car in which the entire front end had to be removed.

yea, you need a new dealer...god dam, its a oil pan not a transmission bearing.

That thing has struts in the front, which just mount into place. There’s no settling involved. Brand new springs will sometimes compress a bit, but they shouldn’t make noise or rub on anything. Also, any noise while driving on straight on a flat road most likely isn’t suspension related. They have to take any pullies off?

Yes, the  timing cover had to be removed.

An oil pan  that requires the trans to be dropped to replace.

Sorry to hear about the troubles, I really love that car! “settling back in” sounds like a bunch of malarkey to me. I bought my 2004 STi with about 6k on the clock and something was rubbing/rattling around in the front . It sounded like the struts, so I told them that and took it in. They gave it back saying it was just the spare tire that wasn’t tight enough...Obviously I had to take it back, and they said “oh yea, we just had to tighten up the struts a little bit...

There are, and they shouldn’t be “settling”.

I do love the car, which is what makes this even more annoying.

I bet the timing cover was over tightened and is rubbing on the timing belt (I did that on an E30 once). The belt will eventually rub a groove in the cover, and stop making noise. So yeah, “settling”. Not good for the belt, though.  Idle the car and see if you can hear it with your head in the engine bay. Also have someone rev the engine. Could be one of the pullies making noise too.

No noise at idle, it really only makes noise occasionally, and while rolling.

Also, it’s a chain.

Because there are two pans, an upper one and a lower one.

That’s incredible. What was the issue that took you to the dealership originally? Just an oil leak?

Settling suspension components don’t make rubbing sounds. Take it back.

It’s a chain and it has a timing cover? I’m used to BMW timing chains, which are housed in the engine case. You have to remove the valve cover to get to them.

Yeah, probably not that. Wonder if you got lucky and also have a bad wheel bearing?

I’m back. They also installed an engine cover tab wrong, so...

It was not like that before I dropped it off, so unless I’m incredibly unlucky...

The upper oil pan was faulty, apparently.

Yeah, it’s weird. If it only does it when the car is rolling, it makes me think it is wheel/axle related.

Plastic is quite strong now, people that break the factory ones, well, the rock will smash the metal one too.

The suspension is just settling and the engine is just getting out oil it doesn’t need.
