Hi everyone.

I purchased a 2007 prado vx a few months ago.  I have a noise somewhere in my undercarrage that is really weird and har to find.  My dealer in not a real help with the situation.

On paved roads you do not hear it,  climbing mountains there is no noise.  when you are going down a mountain or is the suv is on a slight down angle and you have little pumps on the road, you hear the noise.  It seems as if the noise is coming from somewhere in the lower front of the SUV. the sound is similar to a cow bell.  the bumpier the road and more badly paved the road ,  the more you hear it.

Has anyone had this problem or anything similar?  I am open to any sudgestions.
