Suspension Popping?

Hey guys, I did a search and I can't find any answers. When I take a turn where there is a camber change such as into a driveway, my Camry makes a popping/knocking sound. It's rather loud. Does anyone have any idea what this is? It does not happen during normal driving or going over speedbumps. THanks.

It might be your bushings.

Well, I don't have TRD springs but I checked anyways for coil rubbing. I don't see any. Any other suggestions? I can't believe no one else has experienced this.

Can you tell where the noise is coming from? Front, back, left, right, inside, outside?

N.E.O.

I think he may have the intermediate shaft noise but it depends on where the noise is coming from.

N.E.O.

That happened in the 05 we had. You could feel it in the wheel more then hear it.

Some of the later model years seems to have similar concerns too. I think the 07' and 08' still use the same part number intermediate shaft.

N.E.O.

There you go!

Isn't there a new TSB concerning that noise? Grease it instead of replacement?

N.E.O.

Can't say, just heard about it, so don't know the exact day. You are probably right on that.
