i have a 1999 camry le 4cyl, the problem is that while driving loud nosies come from suspension. I dont know if its the struts or what. Its like a constant knocking noise that is loud and annoying, thanks.

Sounds like struts to me, but I'm sure somebody else will chime in with much more helpful input.

Also take a look at the rear sway bar bushings, start there. They will make noises as you drive over small bumps. The bar will move up/down making the noise. You can check on the ground if you don't have ramps. Just grasp the swap bar and move it up/down while looking at the bushings. If the bushings are worn, you will see space between the bar and the bushings. I have a noise when I go over a small bump and traced it down to the sway bar bushings, so far. I went to the dealer and bought the bushings and bolts, and will change them when I have a chance.
