VERY common (try the search button at the top of the page!)
nowt to worry about can pay toyota a small fortune for 4 plastic caps to go on stops, which will wear out anyway, or do like everyone else and grease 'em.
seriously do a search and you'll get piccies the lot.

ps. welcome aboard

its not just surfs either..yesterday i witnesses a toyota "hi-ace"? (kinda old style people carrier thingy) doing a full locker on a bumpy picnic spot..and you should have heard that baby creak,groan and bang!! turned a few heads too..i'll be doing mine tomorrow, not risking that sort of humiliation..

YEP did mine todayas advised by better surfers than me ,,,it worked a treat, a blob of Vasaline on each end of the steering stops and magic, all quiet on the western front!.

Don't use grease though, use copperslip (or something of that ilk).

There are two stops per wheel, btw. One frontside, one rearside.
