I have a 2003 camry, and at times when im driving, the car makes a weird noise, it seems to be coming from the front right tire area, it sounds like the baring (spelling), im not sure exactly what it is, but it only makes the noise when the car is in motion, and it seems to be coming from that one spot, and the noise gets louder at times when i accelerate. any ideas?
When im speeding on the freeway or on major streets, i dont hear the noise, but when im driving through a business parking lot, you can totally hear it, my camry already has 55,000 miles on it, pretty damn bad for 3 years lol.
Belt tensioner. See if it has moisture on it. If it does the hydraulic tensioner is leaking and your drive belt is basically slapping...loose. Pain in the butt.... I put them on all the time for this noise. Oh and is it a 4cyl? If so could be the water pump too. I have seen two of them this week.
I got the same problem, Is your's the 4cyln? i brought it to the same dealer twice, 1st time they changed my pullies, 2nd time the mechanic claims its a "Normal Sound, and told me to stop using Cheap gas" i Stated i never used anything lower than 93, The 2nd time i went i had paper work of the noise that fit every description. dont know wahts going on but im going to another dealer. There is a TSB on this case for the 02-04 Camry, it its said that it could be the Intake manifold. The TSB on this is EG018-04. Hope you get better luck with your dealer if you bring it in. Here are some links to the TSB, to get furter information, you would have to buy the info from Alldata.
It seems to be coming from the back right area, not front, it seems to happen when i come to a stop and when i accelerate lightly, when im going fast, you can't hear it. So only when i brake and when i accelerate at a low speed, The way to describe it, it sounds like a lopsided tire, but the tire is new. any ideas guys?
I have the same problem in my 2002 camry in the front left tire area. It only happens when I am turning left and going less than 5 miles an hour. Usually it squeaks during the turn and when I go back to straighten it out I hear a kind of popping noise.
