Steering Noise 05 Camry I4 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Everytime I make a turn or a hard turn I hear clicking noise at the steering wheel. On top of that when I accelerate the car often shudders. What is going on?? I just got my wheels balance the other week so I know its not that. I was thinking its the joint problem. What do you think?? How much would it cost for replacement and install??? If it is??

It sounds like you have a bad CV joint.

Diagnose if first, then you can call around and get an estimate in your particular area.

Which way are you steering when it shudders on accel?

I have a 05 with 41,000 it started doing that it 29,000 I took it to the dealer and almost all 05 make that noise. The servicewriter said that there is tsb on intermedite steering shaft noise. No danger just a pain in the ass noise.

The steering shaft will not make the car shudder on acceleration though.

If its the CV joint thats making the noise, would the warranty cover it. I have about 55000 + miles on it and I have had it since May 05.

Yes, axles are covered under the 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty.

If that's the problem...

As I am trying to help you, would you mind answering my question in my previous post? A little common courtesy would be nice.

Oops sorry about that. It makes noise when I steer left and right.

Does the car shudder though, as you previously described happens when you accelerate?

Is it a constant clicking noise during the whole turn while moving? Or as you turn the wheel, it clicks once then done until you turn back the other way?

It makes the clicking noise as I turn the wheel

i know theres a TSB for the intermediate shaft, but it wouldent cause a shudder
i agree with TRD...most likeley a bad CV joint...to be sure id take it to the dealer and have them properly diagnose the issue, as i cant say unless i drive the car and look it over personally

I agree.

It doesn't help the the OP wants help but won't answer questions or give good descriptions. It's hard to help people that don't participate in their own thread...
