I use krown every spring once the salt is off the roads. I pat myself on the back every time i work on my car. I also have a can of the stuff I spray on all the bolts undert he car any time I am working in that area.

For cavity protection of the bolt, marine grease will keep the water off of it is you liberally apply it to the threads

Due to this I will not be taking them out to inspect until every 2 years. I do oil spray my car every spring but that likely does not get to the area where the bolt threads into
The correct fix is to seal the seams, as per the TSB. I have done so on mine and have found no moisture at all in the bolt sleeves a year after doing so.

Here is the TSB again:

Can you ignore this issue if you live in a warm climate where roads aren't salted?

Depends on how much rain you get.

Clunk in front end

Maybe its too late to do anything at a Toyota shop BUT my 2010 2dr Hatchback has for several months now been making a noise as described. Since I live in central Texas and the car has never been near snow maybe it took longer to rear it's ugly manners. My question is does Toyota still have to comply with TSB-0055-11 at this late date ?
Thanks, Gordon
