Well if you have it in D, and hold the brake, every so often it sounds like there is a loud and distinct rattle, but it goes away and then happens every once in a while.

How much vibration should be happening when in D and holding the brake with the AC on? I thinks its gotten worse.

Im taking it to the dealership tommorow, and so far this is what I want checked:

Motor Mounts
Tranny Mounts
Timing Belt
Air filters

Not all are pertaining to this problem, Im just stating it for some more info. Any idea on what I should get checked would be appretiated. Im confident in this dealership as we know the guy personally, hes worked on our MKIV supra alot through the years.

Thanks!

@ felon, thanks! i will add the brake lines to my list of things I want him to inspect. My brakes sound like they talk to each other... I think I need a new something.

@hissann, thanks. I will post an update hopefully after tommorow.

Ryan I wish I could be of more help but I dont know how to diagnose this problem. I would just go ahead and show it to a mechanic, it is always good to have a professional opinion. In fact, show the car to a hand full of mechanics and see what all say. Maybe than your problem will be solved.:thumbup: I wish you good luck and hope you do not have to spend too much money.

Ryan I see that you have only 75000 miles on the car. Thats very good, I can assure you that the problem is something that will be fixed easily considering the car has not a lot of miles on the engine.

ryan I would have looked at the motor mounts at first too but the thing is that other people have had the same problem and changing the motor mounts did not help all the time. The reason behind this was that most of the people who felt this shake even after changing the mounts had a 4 cyl. engine. Unfortunately, 4 bangers in camry's are notorious for this shaking, especially with the A/C on. Now this does not mean that you problem cannot be fixed but keep in mind that even after you do everything the shaking will be quite obvious. I am assuming that the car being a 1995 has some high mileage in it. Because if it is above 100,000 than the shaking will still be there after the mounts have been replaced and all the other good stuff
its just going on 75,000 miles. Its one thing to shake, but I mean there is a noticable difference from the normal vibrating it has always done.
