My camry

Hey Guys

This is my camry. ALl I did to the exterior is basically shaved off the emblems and slapped on those 16's you see there.

As for interior, I have a 10cd MP3 changer and blue light dash. Next to come is tints I guess.

No mods to the engine/trans. Not planning on it cuz my mom drives this to her job at school. Dont want her killing herself. lol

Dont mind the dent and scratches by the left tail light. Some ass parked a dumpster atop a hill and it rolled down and slammed into my car. I'm gonna fix that when it warms up a little. I dont have my own garage and am forced to do all my repairs out in the streets.

Like those wheels. Man, that sucks about the dumpster. I bet insurance wouldn't cover it either.

Thanks guys. About the insurance and the dumpster hit and run....

The dmg is like 200 dollars worth and for me to get insurance in on this would raise my insurance at least 500 dollars a year. And Since I'm 20 it'll go up like 20%. Im already paying around 2g's a year. (Thats nto even full insurance).

The guy didn't wanna settle. He said, "If u wanna call the cops go right ahead my insurance will cover it. If not then just get outta here." What a jerk.

It looks good yeah. But its riddled with problems. Brakes squel like a little girl and the car will NOT go straight. I'm gonna post a video file of the steering wheel turning by itself like its posessed.

I checked, rotated, blanaced and even switched the rims around. The car still pulls. And before it used to pull only to the right. Now It does crazy shit. Sometimes it just turns with the street all by itself like it knows where its going. But most of the time it just starts turning randomly. I'm gonna try to take a movie clip of it on Wed. (After finals). You guys wont believe you eyes. And just the other day I was on Queens Blvd and it turned almost 180 degrees to the left! That scared the shit outta me.

yeah I tried. No one knows! I had 5 wheel alignments done! Checked my brakes and they are fine. It happens more on uneven roads though.

Could the power steering be causing it?

Just changed my Rack and this is my second power steering pump since the problem started. The first pump was installed wrong and the pully flew off. So they gave me a new pump and installed it.

I'd check the torque on all of your suspension/steering bolts, and double-check the brakes (I saw you had already given them the once-over). This sounds more serious than an alignment issue, because it is sporadic. That's what makes me think there's a brake hanging up or something like that...

Good luck!

That sounds like a good idea. When driving at slow speeds I do hear a squeaking sound.
