Loud click every few seconds when AC compressor disengages.

[goldberg_21]

Hello,

1) Air con sudden loud disengage clicking noise: so recently my 2025 4Runner started making loud single click noise on air conditioner disengage. The dealership is telling me it’s normal, but I didn’t notice it this loud before.
So it recycles every few seconds when idle and with a loud click.

2) clicking sound on full left turn:
Also when I make a full left steering lock and take a u turn there is a noise done where close to the tires, which almost feels like something is stopping or in the wheel way.

This SR5 has only done 1500 miles.

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks

ac clutch normal-ish but it is louder than any of my other toyotas
ignore it is my recommendo....you have until 3/36000 to warranty it if it fails

full lock and there is noise ? steering stops can make noises

go to full lock while moving forward and turning slowly, stop...hold steering and
shut it down, climb under there and find out what touches or is close to
touching. then lock the other direction and do the same. does
anything have wear spots or evidence of touching ?

Thanks for the excellent suggestions, I will try out checking the wheel at full lock.
