My annoying Prime - A couple of clicks & thumps and OCD overdrive.

I know there are several threads here about Prime noises, but I think these are different.

Either way, I had taken the car in for several noise issues that were verified by the technicians:

Qi mechanism noise:
This one, I addressed here: "Clicking" sound under the center console | PriusChat

Clicking noise coming from the front axle area:
When I was driving slowly in a downward angle inside a parking garage, I would hear a rhythmic clicking noise when braking. Definitely a click per rotation of the tire and only when braking at a downward angle. I reported it as a clicking noise similar to that of a worn axle boot, so I guessed it was the axle. Originally, the technician couldn't replicate it and I had to do a drive-along to show him. I managed to clearly show him the issue and he originally diagnosed it as the brake caliper pins not engaging? I disagreed but whatever - he was the expert.

Resolution: They confirmed that it was indeed a bad front axle. Apparently, axles (or a specific part of an axle) was on back-order, which makes me believe that it's a common enough of a problem. Said it was safe to drive on and the noise only occurs with the combination of forward momentum and downward weight. Somehow the part came in quickly and got it fixed quickly.

A "thump" from the rear when coming to a complete stop when braking:
When I came to a complete stop, I would hear a slight thump from the rear. Louder with a harder brake. I also had to replicate the noise with the technician. The noise sounded like it was the rear drum brakes.

Resolution: They confirmed this noise was normal and from the suspension that they also confirmed on the Primes on the lot. I actually heard the same noise from a loaner Mirai.
