Noise from left front of car - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

We have a 2007 SE 4 cyl. There is a noise now coming from the drivers side front of the car when slowly going over speed bumps. Sound like it is coming from the front left suspension......possibly a strut mount? This is the only time I have heard the sound....when going over speed bumps. Anyone else had this issue? I am going to take it into the dealer soon but would like to see if anyone else had this problem before hand. Thanks!

I do have a similar sound, although mine occurs on either the front right or rear, and not all the time. I've assumed that it was due to the TRD springs I installed.

I also have some noise going over bumps or potholes...also thought it had to do with the TRD. I guess we just hear the left front more as it is closer to the driver. I am not too worry about it...almost all cars I drove made some noise running over these

whoops! When I went to post original post, Internet Explorer timed out and I did not think post went thru. So.........I reposted. Sorry for the duplication.

I have a 2004 camry and I installed the eibach prokit and I hear a noise on the right side of my car. Changed my mount and my shock. The noise is still around. I posted a tread similar to yours and someone told me they did brake work. The noise was gone.

What type of noise is it? Clunking? Ticking? Popping? Scraping?

In my case it's a clunking sound.

The same with me..........my sound is a more of a single solid sounding "clunking" noise. And as I said, it is only noticeable going over a speed bump. Since then, I have been listening for it and I do believe I noticed it once when hitting a bump in the road while going over a slight crest of a hill.
