Bought a 2015 Toyota Fortuner in February 2021. Last owner did not care for it properly. About a month ago, a strange squealing started under the vehicle, about a kilometer into each trip. It only sounds when the vehicle is at low speeds (45 kph), stops when the vehicle stops and does not increase/decrease with the vehicle's speed. New oil, new brakes, new serpentine belt/transmission fluid and transmission filter. Mechanics can not find the source. All fluids and systems seem to be working correctly. No leaking fluids. Link is to Youtube video I took of the sound with a GoPro under the vehicle. Any help is appreciated. Youtube link: https://youtu.be/gkLE8PBsXmk

im not sure , but suspect its the CV joint seals , where the CV joints go into the front differential. Spray the inner parts of the joint ( where the seals are ) with something like WD40. can you hear the noise if you jack up each side and spin the wheels by hand?2019 GX , in White

Ok let us know how you go. This forum is usually for the Australian delivered models so i dont know if they are different to the Fortuners built in Sth America. I think they use the 1KD engine and 5 speed gearbox over there2019 GX , in White

yes , needs to be further in there , right where the seal covers the shaft into the diff. I have heard of that seal needing replacement for that same noise.
