Guys,

I am drving a Camry year 1996. Recently, I heard a loud knocking sound coming from driver side. I had check my balljoint, steering rod, change absorber( non sealed type)..

Any idea what might be the culprit? Please enlight me with some fresh ideas ...

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

is it engine or suspension related?

It is actually a suspension related knocking and clunking noise. I try to search around but not certain whether is the strut mount problem. How to clarify the mount problem? Can we see clearly that the mount is spoil or non usable??

Thanks

Guys,

I just change my strut mount today and it cured my knocking problem. The mount looks very good but if you dismantle the strut and the mount, u will noticed that the rubber inside is shaking and loose.

Thank you.
