Camry :: 2009 Toyota - Front Brakes Clunking / Knocking After Replacement

I changed the front brake rotors & pads on my wife's 2009 Toyota Camry & everything seems fine except when doing sudden or slightly hard stops it seems to do a clunk/knock type sound from the front brakes. It also only does it sometimes not every hard/sudden stop.

One thing that comes to mind is that when I went to tighten one of the guide pin bolts it was a real pain, the big bolt that the screw threads into kept spinning making it hard to tighten the bolt into & none of the others did this. I thought I tightened it down but possibly not?

Camry :: 2009 LE - Clunking When Hit Bumps

Alright I've got an 09 camry le on 18's, I recently just put the tein s tech springs on and since day one it clunks when I hit bumps. I did the install myself (not bad, just time consuming), so no taking it back to someone. I've taken the wheels off and made sure the bolts are all tight and the top mount too. Everything is snug. Still clunks. Is this just something that is normal with aftermarket springs on stock suspension?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Front End Clunks Even After All New Parts

It was the sway-bar bushings... Now with all the new parts up front and the bushings it rides better than new. Case closed.

I replaced the following

- Struts (shocks, springs, mounts)
- Control arms (bushings, ball joints)
- End links

And i still have clunks from the front end and now magically my left outer CV boot is ripped!

Camry :: 2002 Clunking Sound From Front?

I've been trying to track down this clunking sound, its only really happening when I am going at about 30-40mph speeding up or slowing down in that vicinity..

Its a light clunk clunk sound that seems to be coming from the front left of my car...

It cant be the struts, because I've just put new ones in a few months ago... What could it be? some sort of CV joint or bushing?

Camry :: 2009 - Clunking Sound When Turning Steering Wheel

So my 09' Camry now has 130K KMs on it and for the last few months I've had an issue where when I turn the steering wheel (at rest and while moving) there is a clunking sound and feel in the steering wheel at various spots in the steering wheel rotation.

I'm worried the u-joints (if it uses them) in the steering column are worn out and might need replacing/lubricating but I'm not sure how to address the issue without an expensive Out of warranty visit to the dealer.

Ford - Taurus :: 2009 - Clunking From Front End When Drive Across A Bumpy Road Or A Dip

I have a 2009 Ford Taurus, 3.5 V-6. 56,480 miles bought as a CPO used car from a Ford dealer. my problem is that it has a clunking coming from the front end. every time you drive it across a bumpy road or a dip, speed bump or the nose of the car goes up and down there is a clunk sounding like it is coming from the left front suspension. happens at low speeds and high, does not change when brakes are applied. I have jacked the car up and crawled around under looking for anything loose, I have not found anything or seen anything that looks worn or rubbing.

Cherokee :: 98 ZJ 5.2L - Humming Noise After Replaced All Front End Steering Parts

My '98 ZJ 5.2L. I just replaced pretty much all of the front end steering parts because there was a lot of play going on and most of the boots didn't seem to hold grease. I replaced my tie rod ends, center link, drag link, and steering stabilizer. I did my best to align the tires using a tape measurer and ended up within 1/8 inch difference. I couldn't get it any closer than that, so I left it. Now, my Jeep is humming whenever I turn the wheel. Normally, I might look to either the power steering pump or some of the front end parts, but seeing as I just replaced pretty much all of them and I replaced my power steering pump last winter.

Camry 2012+ :: Front Brake Clunking Sound

Over the past month or two, I've noticed a clunking sound coming from the front brakes when you apply the brakes. It seems to only happen when you're backing up and after the car has sat a while.

Toyota - Camry :: 2002 - Clunking Sound Near The Front Left Of Car

My 2002 Toyota Camry started making a clunking sound near the front left of the car (and I could barely feel it, too) at low speed over slight bumps. My mechanic, who I trust, said I had two broken engine mounts. He replaced them. Sound continued. He said I needed new struts. He replaced them. Sound continued. Decided to take it to a Toyota dealer. They said I needed new lower control arm bushings but couldn't guarantee that was the source of the sound and they would just have to see. I opted to ask yet another mechanic, who said the control arm bushings are NOT the problem, but he would have to spend some time (could be several hours) exploring to find out what the problem is...at $70+ per hour. The car only has 86,000 miles on it, but I'm getting concerned that I might end up paying for a new car without the new car smell if I keep spending money on "possible" causes.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Play In Steering Wheel / Loose Front End Suspension Parts

I have a '99 F250 w/ PSD with 165k miles.

When I drive, I move the steering wheel and nothing happens for the first few degrees of turn and then I encounter resistence and it turns. It's the same either way. The vehicle seems to track nicely, doesn't pull to either side, just a lot of slop in the steering wheel.

Is there a way to determine if this is really steering related or is it just loose/worn front end suspension parts making themselves known? My guess is suspension items, but the fact the front end behaves itself when the truck is moving has me doubting that just a bit.

Camry :: 2009 - Front End Vibration Type Humming

2009 Camry with 100K Kilometers.

80% of the time the car drives perfectly smooth at all speeds. However, there are times when I'll hear a slight vibration type humming and a little (very little) vibration in the steering wheel. HOWEVER, when I touch the brakes it feels as though the rotor(s) have a major warp in them. It's so bad that I'm afraid to to slow the car with the breaks so I'll usually gear down to a lower speed first.

If I keep driving for another 5 or 10 minutes it will go away completely -- braking is as smooth a butter.

Camry :: 2009 - Front Right Wheel Making Odd Chugging Sound

My 2009 Camry has been making an odd noise where it kind of sounds like a smooth chugging noise. The wheel has been making this sound for sometime now, we've taken it into one auto shop and they say it's most likely a dry wheel bearing. I've added a link to a video I took while in the car yesterday. You can only really hear the sound the wheel makes with some headphones on FYI.

The car has close to 100,000 miles on it, but well maintained. Recently added some new brakes but this noise was occurring before the change.

Camry :: 2009 XLE V6 - Both Front Doors Make Very Loud Clunk When Closed

I recently purchased a 2009 XLE V6 and love it! I've also owned a 2008 Corolla S and 1994 Camry SE V6.

I do have a question however. In the 2009, both front doors make a very loud clunk when closed as if a very large piece has broken off on the inside.

Camry :: 2009 - Clicking Sound When Turning / Front Drive Axle

I have the dreaded click-click-click noise when turning that is indicative of my CV joint going tits up. Checking it out the boot is split and there is some grease. So, I plan on going ahead and changing both sides drive axles out, since the Camry has 178k on it (yeah, 178k on a 2009.)
