Hey I'm new to prius chat and new to the prius model. I purchased a 2007 touring in that really cool light green . The vehicle is from North Carolina and is in really good cond. over the winter I developed a light knock from the front suspension only when going really slow over bumps . It's gotten worse since. So I went underneath and noticed slight leaks from both struts underneath the belows . So I replaced with Toyota brand everything on the struts and did a visual inspect on control arms ball joints and tie rods all seem in decent cond still . Well it's gotten worse I checked and rechecked struts all okay . The noise feels like it's on the floor by your feet . If someone has already been through this please message me back. Thankyou and I did notice when front of vehicle was in air and in park I could spin the passenger tire with alittle click noise but drivers side was completely locked please help lol thanks
Not a mechanic, but just wanna say welcome to Prius Chat and the Prius universe. I am a fellow Prius virgin... just got my 2004 on May 10th. Hope it all works out okay!
If both front tires are in the air then you should be able to rotate either tire. As you rotate one tire in a given direction, the other tire will rotate in the opposite direction if the gear selector is in P. Did you replace the front strut top mounts? If not maybe a mount is loose.
