suspension problem still - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Last year I replaced all of my struts and the strut mounts on my camry because of that annoying clunking noise. Well, I still have the problem. Does anyone have an idea on what it might be? The ride is nice on the highway but around town it's a little annoying.

Did you check the nut on the sway bar link??? Last week, when i put my coilover on, I didn't put enough torque on it, so it made a lot of noise when driving.

Is it sort of a popping noise every time you go over a bump or dip? If so, I've got the same problem. Dealership told me that the control arm bushings are worn out, have you checked those? Read the TSBs as well, I know I saw something else in there about suspension making a grinding/popping noise.

when u replace strut mounts did u put the Strut Bearing on new strut mounts

the mounts came as a complete package (kyb brand) so I'm guessing that it came with the bearings. I had a shop put them in cause my brother and I had problems doing so.

When do you get the clunking? going over bumps or turning?

I had that problem a few times myself...a few changes on the strut mounts solved that for me!

Sorry I don't have an answer. It seems to be a common problem for our cars.
