Took it to my mechanic, looks like front swaybar links and one of the ball joints is getting loose. Ordered parts, will tackle this at the next...
I don't think so--sounds more like a metallic clunking from the front end.

I don't see any strut replacement in the repair records. No noise when turning. I only hear it on our gravel driveway, on hardtop it's silent.
Thanks, I'll check those sway bar links. I see from the records that they were replaced by the p.o. in fall of 2023 (about 6000 miles ago) and I...
My 18 y.o. son bought a 2010 Prius last August and we had an alignment done after replacing the tires. Later in the fall he told me the car is...
Changed out the washer pump today and knocked that one off the punchlist. Accessed through the driver side inner fender which made it pretty easy....
Is Toyota using AGM now for those 12v batteries?
Cleaned the battery fan which was very clean--thin layer of surface dirt on the fan blades but that was all. Also pulled the 12V battery to check,...
Thanks for the tips, very helpful. I'll put a parts list and get everything prepped as best I can.

Thanks for the TSB and the coolant info. I should probably buy a new water pump, thermostat, hoses, and do a cooling system flush.
Hmmm...so the pump flow rate declines, leading to elevated motor temp.? I suppose I should add a cooling system flush and pump changeout to my...
Can I access it just by removing the passenger side inner front fender?
So does the blown head gasket issue frequency correspond at all to oil change intervals? That is, if the oil and filter are changed at recommended...
Thanks--I checked the washer fluid level, it's fine. And the rear washer works so I figured the fuse is OK. Can't image Toyota fuses each washer...
Thanks, have ordered a new gasket for the EGR pipe and as soon as that arrives (love Rock Auto!) I will clean out that pipe and see how things...
Looks like my previous post is being held for moderation (?!). Was going to add: the vehicle's front windshield washer doesn't work. No sound at...
Is the dealership not able to properly diagnose the battery condition? I'll try and find an independent who knows the Prius well. Anybody on here...
Thanks for the replies. Wow, that's some dark perspectives on the 2010. They're really that bad? I'll get right on the EGR. Have an appointment...
