Odd Rattle Noise

[93viking]

I have a 99 Camry with about 71K on it now. At idle and in gear (reverse or drive) I have a rattle noise coming the passenger side of the motor. If I put it in neutral the noise goes away. I do not feel a vibration in the seats or steering wheel. I'm having a hard time pin pointing the spot due to it must be in gear.

I'm kind of thinking that it's a motor/trans mount or in the timing belt area since I have not changed it.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try moving the engine forward and backward yourself (toward the front and rear of the car.)

If it seems to move a lot and you have not replaced your "dog bone" mount (the mount on the passenger side on the strut tower) it's probably time to replace it. They can be found pretty cheap on ebay and are not expensive from the dealership, definitely a do it yourself job considering it's only two bolts and a few scraped knuckles
