Need a Spot

My 2000 4Runner has got a clicking sound coming from the front brakes. It started a few weeks ago. They seem to function perfectly fine and it hasn't gotten any worse. I think there is a TSB covering this problem but I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar problem with their 3rd gen 4Runner and if any of you know specifically what the cause is? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem on my '88 4Runner. Turned out to be that the previous had never changed the brake pads (metal to metal), and the brakes were missing all the Anit-Rattle springs, and Anti-squeal Shims. $150 later I was able to get the clanking in the front. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

There are 2 TSB's. Go to ALL DATA . Write down the tsb numbers and go ask the dealer about taking a look at the literature, so you understand what's involved.
