My father's 2000 Camry - rear noise
Greg 11 April 2005 15:48:13
	I visited my parents on the weekend. My Dad has a 2000 Camry that makes a noise in the rear when going over bumps. It is a little hard to describe the noise. I might call it a clunk or thump-somebody else might call it a rattle but I wouldn't. Here are some things we did: -Dad lives in a very ruraul are with no access to a dealer so he took it to the local auto service place where he knows the mechanic. The mechanic could not find the source of the noise. He had the car up on a hoist. -we emptied the trunk of everything to eliminate the possibility of the spare or jack etc from being the culprit. -from under the car there is no visible evidence(such as shiny spots) of where the noise is being generated from. It does not seem as though the exhaust system has enough "play" to cause the sound. -it is difficult to even isolate where in the back end the noise seems to be coming from. Dad, who is 80, got in the trunk while I drove over rough roads but he could still not determine exactly where the sound seemed to be originating from. -the car has less than 50,000miles on it soI wouldn't think it is a "wear" issue. -the noise can't be duplicated or made to happen just by bouncing the car up and down when it is parked. Does anybody have some thoughts that he might consider checking out, please. Thanks for your help, Greg

	Often a 15$ rubber bushing on one of the arms is the cause my mechanic charged me 25$

	I heard a similar noise in my 2000 Camry LE 4cyl when going over bumps and quick starts. It turned out to be a slight amount of play in the drivers seat back. It felt and sounded like it was coming from or under the trunk area.

You shoulda got in the trunk Suspension rubber bushes can be worn out or cut thru and still look OK. Try sliding under the rear and using a large screwdriver or tire-bar, lever all the bushes you can see to test for excessive movement. In other words, if you have 2 suspension parts which are connected by a bush, lever the 2 metal parts apart (use low or moderate force only) while observing the bush. If the bush is OK you wont be able to get much separation as the bush should hold things together. Jason

Another possibility is the strike plate for the trunk latch is loose. Try wiggling the trunk lid. If there's play, then open the lid and see if the plate that's bolted to the body (it has a loop or something for the lid's latch to grab) is tight or not. JKL

	My car (95 Camry, 122K) has the same exact problem for the last 6 months (it may even be longer than that). I wonder if it is because of the bad/worn axels? At my recent service the dealer said I need new axes both front/rear. When I mentioned about the noise he said it could be because of the axels. Of course I don't trust him 100%. They said it would cost $1500 for the axels, which is kind of expensive at this mileage, so I didn't do it, but that's a different story. I appreciate if anybody could provide some feedback on the noise, for the layman here. regards Recently "Greg" <mcbeagre@nbed.nb.ca> wrote in message news:8ec60acb.0504110348.4e43f873@posting.google.com...>I visited my parents on the weekend.

	The axels are the very very last thing to go bad, if ever.Tthe axel bearings would be a place for a half honest guy to try after, and only after all other things were fixed. Bushings , struts, and components are 99.999 % of all issues. Your dealer is a lian crook/

The symptom was a grinding growling sound that increased with vehicle speed and when turning left (in this case). -- - Philip

	Axel bearings do go bad, axels ? wouldn`t a wheel be wobbeling ? dr 164 said it happens on bumps , sure doesn`t sound like an axle or axels to me, sounds like the dealer or his mechanic isn`t to honest. Bushings, bearings wear, easy to diagnose and cheap to replace.

Spelled correctly, AXLE(s). When axle bearings fail, they first make noise due to the patches of missing / damaged metal in the bearing races. Here is the time when noise starts ... audible to the keen ear. Then the balls start getting chewed. From this point, the more damaged balls become, the more wobble/play will appear at the hub. What the dealer diagnosed is not a matter I care to address. -- - Philip
