Question Camry Vibrates & Wheel Noise ??

I drove my Camry around for a little while today and I noticed that it vibrates when its in gear and sitting still ? Its idle'd at the line below 1 when its in Park too ?? Is this normal ? I've neevr owned an automatic before so Im used to always being in N when stopped which is what I sometimes do in my Camry to stop the vibration.. Can anyone tell me what is wrong or how I could fix this ??


Also, when Im driving like around 30mph or so, and turn the wheel to the left, I hear a loud wooing noise coming from the right tire.. It sounds like someone is going ( whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa ) when I turn left. When I turn the wheel right I dont hear the noise ? Anyone know what that could be ?

Thanks in advance..

Vibration: Check your motor mounts, you might have to replace them.

Wheel noise: Check your passenger side front wheel well for tire/wheel rubbing. Turn the wheel all the way to the left when parked and get your fingers in there and see if the tire is touching anything inside.

Well I feel the vibrating in the steering wheel mostly, but it may be the whole car thats shaking ? I was thinking it was maybe idle'd to low ?

As for the motor mounts, I had all of them changed about 1,000 miles ago..
My transmission was also changed about 15k miles ago by the previous owner by a Toyota Dealer, I have the papers ( you can imagine the price) and shifts pretty fine and on point..

I was told that the noise from my wheel may be wheel bearings ?? Im gonna get that checked out on Thursday. I just want to make sure my Camry is running top notch before I park my other car for the winter..

Thanks for all the input so far guys

Well we do have rough streets here in Manhattan but I dont think its the alignment. The alignment in my Camry stands out with me because its almost perfect, no pulls or anything like in my other car..


I've been looking up symptoms of wheel bearings and so far the signs have been on point with what Im experiencing but I still want to have my mechanic declare what the problem is..
