Camry :: 2008 V6 XLE - Front End Vibration Between 40 And 50 Mph
I wanted to make a quick post to talk about a possible solution to a front end vibration on a 2008 V6 Camry XLE. The vibration seemed to only show up between 40 and 50 mph and was more intense when accelerating harder. I drove it like that a good while thinking that a tire rotation and balance would fix it, but when I got that done the vibration was unaffected and as bad as ever.
After some searching here and in other places online, I thought it might be related to a warped brake rotor or other brake issue. I also found some information about bent axles and issues with CV joints. This thread sounded the most like what I was experiencing. 2008 Camry front end vibration
Yesterday my father in law and I replaced the passenger side axle/CV joints as well as the brakes on all four corners. The vibration seems to have been eliminated. There was a definite difference in the amount of slop of the new CV joints and the originals on the car. There was also evidence that the CV joint closest to the center line of the car had been leaking grease, even though the boots were all intact.
All in all it was a fairly inexpensive and straightforward repair. The new CV/axle unit was around $80 and fit perfectly. The only issue we had was finding a socket that would fit the 12pt 32mm nut that was originally on the car. The replacement came with a 6pt nut that was much easier to deal with. From start to finish, the CV/axle replacement probably took less than 2 hours and didn't require any weird specialty tools or knowledge.
The only odd issue was the brake pads that came off of the car. They hardly looked used at all. Compared to the pads we replaced them with, they couldn't have had more than 10% of their thickness worn away. The odd part of that is that this car has 178,000 miles on it and these were the original brakes from the factory. Pretty wild stuff.
Other than normal wear items like tires and oil changes, this is the first real work the car has ever needed since I bought it new in late 2008. That kind of dependability is why I'm passing this car on to my mother in law and just purchased a used 2012 that is a carbon copy of the 2008.
Camry :: 2003 - Vibration In Front Above 40 MPH
In a 4 cylinder 2003 Camry car is smooth until 40+ mph. Above 40mph there is a vibration in the front that gets worse the more gas you give it. But here is the strange thing, if you release the gas pedal the coast the vibration stops instantly. Example you get to 50mph the front is vibrating bad but only when you foot is depressing the gas pedal. If you release the gas pedal the vibrating stops and it is smooth as glass. I change the bottom engine mounts and the top mount and the problem is still there. What could be the problem?

I have a 2002 Camry with a 2003 engine in it. Recently, I have been noticing a vibration that seems to be in the front end, and can be felt on the steering wheel as well. It only happens at around 45 MPH and up. It has been a while since I have been on the interstate so I am not sure if it smoothes out at 70 or not.
The vibration is only when accelerating, it stops if you let off the gas. Going down a hill it stops, but going up a hill it vibrates.
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 2012+ :: Vibration From Front Wheels At 8k Miles
noticed at 8k miles i started getting a vibration from the front wheels on my new camry [2014]. feels like typical warped rotor. i could understand if the car were being driven hard but its not. now at 8.5k the vibration is getting worse. Who manufactures a good quality drilled and slotted rotor ? also the dipstick tube at the block [4cyl] is leaking oil. has been repaired by toyota twice already and leaking again.

Have a new 2012 Camry XLE V-6. The car has an intermittent rattle/vibration coming from the front of the car. I have 5000 miles and the noise is getting worse. Taken back twice to dealer but no luck. The dealer has checked the front end and suspension, but can not find anything loose. The noise starts around 45 MPH. I know this sounds crazy, but the noise is worse if it's a windy day. A sudden guest of wind will start the noise. I've tried trouble-shooting by turning the wheel, hitting the brakes, even placing the car in netural while driving, but nothing affects the noise except the wind.

Ive got a 2002 f250 Sd 4x4 with 93000. Im getting severe vibration from the front drivers side at highway speed. I thought it might be a warped rotor but i cant feel it in the brake pedal, when I put the brakes on. How can you tell when the hub bearing assembly is going bad? The truck doesnt pull to that side either. I can hear it, and feel it more when i'm going around highway corners. When im driving through town, I can hear a "clunk,clunk,clunk" noise coming from that side also.
View 14 RepliesCamry :: Replaced Both Front Struts And Creaking Sound Coming From Front End
Last night, I replaced both front struts with Monroe complete sets (new springs, mounts, boots, struts, etc) and I had my front rotors smoothed out. That cleared up about 75% of the noises coming from the front of my car Except for one.
Whenever I'm braking, there is a noise coming from my front left wheel. It's not a brake squeal, but more like a creaking sounds that comes around with each rotation of the wheel. It slows down with the car, and I can make it last longer by doing a slow roll with the brakes one. So when I'm fast it sounds like "Crk! Crk! Crk!" When I'm going slow it's "Creeeeeak... Creeeeeeak... Creeeeeak..."
Last night, I also replaced the sway bar link on that side. The brakes are smooth and the tires were balanced a couple months ago (no steering wobbles at any speed)
Camry - Transmissions :: 1995 - Clinking Sound From Front End / Camry Won't Move
My fiancee has a 1995 Toyota Camry that she uses as her work vehicle and yesterday the car started making a clinking noise from the front that I thought was a broken CV but after going to 2 mechanics we were told it was something with the transmission but neither mechanic did trannys so they wouldn't go any farther into it. When put into gear it there was a loud clinking sound that sounded like it was coming from the front driver side wheel and the car wouldn't move. Before spending the money and bringing it to the only transmission specialist in town I figured I would try here first because I have learned specialist usually means more money, especially when your the only specialist in town. Is there any common issues with transmissions that would cause a clinking or metal on metal sound?
View 19 RepliesCamry :: 2002 - Vibration At Exactly 40 MPH
My 2002 Camry has been a blessing. Just the normal maintenance with no major problems. I do have one concern. At exactly 40 MPH, I thought a tire was either out of balance or something similar. It feels like a shudder or bumping feeling (hence the thought about tires) but going a bit faster 42 and up it disappears. Obviously, has to be something in engine but where to I start to look?

I have an 04 Jetta that I recently had the trans replaced and ever since I picked it up there is a vibration in the front end. I took the car back and they said it was my DP hitting the cross member. They suspected mounts. I ordered and installed all 3 new mounts but the noise is still there and the trans mount looks crooked where the mount bolts to the trans bracket.
View 8 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2008 - Vibration Under The Front Between 15 And 35 Mph
Okay, so I'm now up to 154,000 miles on my '08. Not doing too bad replacing the the intercooler, starter, rear brakes (3rd set), rotors, front brakes (1st set at 135k ) and some other regular maintenance over the last 30k or so. Started getting some vibration under the front between 15 and 35 mph a couple of months ago. Felt a little slop in the cv area so I replaced the axles. Still getting the vibration, moreso when it's cold than warmed up. Put it up on the rack and feel some serious slop on the passenger side where the shaft enters the trans. I think the bearing in the trans might be the culprit. I'm struggling finding information on pulling the trans and doing a rebuild or even general parts replacements.
View 5 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Front End Pulse Vibration
Here is the scoop.
85,000 miles
koni coilovers
stock sway bar and bushings
oz ultraleggaras
18x8.5
Nitto invos
The other day i felt a pulse like a "wur wur wur wur" sound similar to when you throw a weight on a wheel or if the wheel is warped.
Wheels are fine. no nails no bubbles
Tires have plenty of life on them and my alignment is awesome.
The car doesn't pull, drift, nothing...
I pulled of the wheel and notice the driver side tie rod was bad.. I replaced it. Passenger side was mint. Test drove it and the car still has the pulse feel that increases in speed as I increase speed.
Here is the funny part.. there is no vibration in the steering wheel at all nor does it pull when i step on the brakes. I checked the sway bar links they are fine. Here are my thoughts.
Strut bushings?
Lower front control arm bushings?
Maybe the suspension is almost wheel hopping? After the tie rod change, I did notice it was more to the right side.. It's not effecting performance it's just annoying..
One other thing i recently took out the eip dog bone and replaced it with the stock unit that I rebuilt with new autohaus bushings I did it right so I don't think its that. Car also has steel skid plate OEM and the autotech upper strut tower brace.
Passat (B6) :: Getting Vibration From Right Front Of Car When Driving Above 50 MPH
I have a vibration coming from what seems to be the right front of the car when I exceed 50mph. It doesn't matter what type of road it is (concrete vs. asphalt) and it doesn't go away.
The vibration has a pattern to it, the best I can describe it is a cycle (wrrr----wrrr----wrr). My wheels are 18s with OEM Pirellis, car is a 3.6l sport wagon. I have never owned a car with this brand so I cannot rule out the tire. Naturally the dealer hears the noise but they say nothing is wrong with the car.
What I can do to make it go away. This noise distracts me form the rattles the dash, hatch and pillar make.
Ford Excursion :: Front End Vibration At 55 Mph
My new to me 04 X has a fairly bad vibration that starts around 55 mph. At about 60-65 it sort of goes away, but not completely. The wheels are 20" F-250 wheels ( 2006 ) with spacers/adapters. These were on it when I bought it. I had the wheels re-balanced and checked the ball joints. This made no difference.
This is not what I would call the death wobble, just a bad vibration in the front end. The steering wheel does shake/vibrate a little, but so does most of the truck while it is doing it.
Camry :: 2007 LE V6 - Vibration During Acceleration
I have an 07 LE V6 with 76,000 miles. I am lowered on coilovers and have 20 inch wheels. so i have a small vibration while normal acceleration between 10-20 mph once i go past 20 mph it goes away. If I am accelerating heavy I feel the front vibrating all the way up until i let go of the gas. i can feel the pedal and steering wheel a lot and the whole car vibrates kinda hard.
I got new tires and replaced the pass side axle already. at first i thought it was the axle since the boot was leaking and i heard the clicking noise. I've even tried putting my stock wheels back on n i still feel it. I am going to lift the car up and try to find whats going on and what to look for under the car.
Camry :: 2006 XLE V6 Vibration When Accelerating To About 45 - 50 Mph
I just purchased a very nice 06 xle camry w/ 160k miles 4 days ago.
The car is in awesome condition and even the engine is spotless.
The only issue is there is a weird vibration when accelerating to about 45-50 mph and then it smooths out.
I noticed it a day after i bought the car and yesterday i took it back to the dealership to have them take a look at it and the guy told me that a mechanic took it for a long test drive and noticed the vibration and a very slight whine while accelerating.
He said they think it is the transmission causing the vibration due to its age and its nothing to worry about. They said "the only way to fix it is to have the transmission rebuilt but its not worth it because its ok".
What could be causing it to vibrate? I don't want to have to worry about the car braking down, i want to actually enjoy it.
Camry 2012+ :: Vibration At 60 - 75 Mph In Steering
I have a 2012 Camry SE with Bridgestones. I've had it in to the dealer twice for a vibration at 60 - 75 mph in the steering. They've replaced two front tires, balanced all four tires both times, and the vibration is still there. It's very noticeable on smooth roads but no so much on repaved (tar and chip) roads. The car also wanders at highway speeds. They've tried adjusting the tire pressure from 35 to 32 which affects the ride and gas mileage but doesn't affect the vibration. The problem seems worse when the tires are up to temperature which increases the tire pressure. I'm not real happy with this brand new car. It only has 1500 miles on it.
View 13 RepliesCamry :: Wobbly Vibration Feeling Right At Around 41 MPH
2011 Toyota Camry LE where when the vehicle is driven for the first time of the day, I get a wobbly vibration feeling right at around 41MPH... Doesn't seem to be the transmission, switching gears and putting it into neutral doesn't change the wobble. I've had the vehicle to the dealer 4 times now. Here is what they've tried (with no result):
Replaced all 4 alloy wheels
Replaced all 4 tires
Road force balanced
Replaced both front wheel bearings
Replaced both front axles
Aligned the vehicle
Replaced a "shaft" on the transmission (per the advisor, trying to figure out exactly what part he's referring to)
Replaced both front discs
Vibration all but disappears when the vehicle is warmed up.. about 10 minutes of driving. Is this just normal behavior for this car? I've driven several 2011 Camry's.. Some do it and some don't... Even with different tire/wheel configurations.
