Did it make this noise before you lowered it?

 

Question is not if lowering springs caused this issue. But if others with a 2015 or 2016 have had this issue.

 

have someone put their hand on the top strut mount as you turn the wheel, then have that person put their hand on the electric steering gear housing on the intermediate shaft (on my 2012 its under the dash) where is the click stronger?

 

Coming from the intermediate shaft under dash.. Thought this issue was fixed from previous generation camrys?

 

It's a very fate clicking sound only heard and felt from inside the vehicle. If I wasn't looking for it probably would notice it.

 

your issue is probally specific to your car these things are massed produced and literally anything can happen from the factory, if you can't feel it at the strut mounts it isn't from the lowering springs, and therefore covered by the warranty. if dealership says it is because of the springs then ask why you can't feel it at the spring but can from driver's seat.

 

Unfortunately even though we all know it doesn't cause the problem don't mean a Dealership is gonna take your word it dosnt. Toyota Dealerships don't want to warranty anything.

I already know my lowering springs aren't causing the clicking noise.

I'm looking for others with similar year that have had a dealer fix this with a tsb so I have something to fall back on if not then worst case I will remove springs prior to taking it back for service.

With my 13 tundra they use a check off sheet before doing any work.
If it's lifted? is there any signs off road use? etc

Thank you

 

I have a 2016 Camry 4-cylinder XSE and am experiencing the exact same thing. The clicking noise began shortly after installing my Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. When I took my car in for its 6-month service last month, I asked them to inspect my front steering and suspension to help identify what was causing the noise. They were unable to conclude anything and told me that if it's due to the lowering springs, there wasn't anything they could do to help.
