Noise heard at speed... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Ok so I have been driving my car around with no radio because it broke a few days ago and as a result, I have begun to hear a thunking noise coming from my car, it almost sounds like a flat tire, but I have checked and all pressures are good. The noise is faint at 45MPH but gets more audible at around 55MPH...

I am not sure what it could be, any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.

Need more info....

Where is the noise coming from? Does it always happen? If no, under what circumstances does it happen?

I can't tell exactly where it is coming from but it is in either the engine bay or axle/wheel... I will try to find out better tomorrow.

Also, it seems to always occur except when i am turning to the right it lessens quite a bit...

I know I have not given much information but I will try to get more in the next day or two,

Is it more of a "clicking" noise? Check to see if the CV (axle) rubber boot is ripped. I'd check the left (drivers) side front first.

If the CV joint is torn, what are my options?

The passenger side does have a tear in it.

Also, does anyone know where I can get a shop manual or something to show me how to remove the engine? I need to move the engine over to another camry that I have, mine has been in one too many accidents in its lifetime.
