Q: Noise under vehicle - 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser
Under acceleration , regardless of load or RPM, I'm getting a almost "metal" sound coming from underneath the cab. It almost seems driveshaft or u-joint related. The u-joints are greased and the drive shaft has no play.
It doesn't do it on cold start or driving for first 10 minutes.. Its very odd.
My car has 215000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
