All right, i guess i will just give it a go, have nothing else to do 🤷‍♂️ will upload a video later and of course what caused the problem and what was the cost of fixing it

 

When it comes to engine noises, a mechanic's stethoscope is your friend, especially if a pulley bearing is dying or one of your drive belt components is otherwise going out. Did you find out what this problem was?

 

I've made a review on other topics. Recently found one with the drive belt squealing when you put your car in drive while the a/c is on. I have the exact same issue. So comming to conclusions that i have the same issue. By the way my steering wheel vibrates when im turning it and when the engine has low rpms so im guessing the drive belt is jumping and causing it feel that way. And the sound it has through the radiator, well i believe it comes from a shot tensioner bearing since its been jumping for a while. If not my busy schedule, i would have fixed it already, but will update you how it went out. I have bad bushings on the right side in lower control arm. So im thinking to change the bushings and since this control arm will have to be removed there will be more space to check all drive belt pulleys

 

Sorry, forgot to mention that the problem with a/c was solved by changing the tensioner

 

Quick update. Have been to my mechanic today to inspect the noise since it is louder now but he has no clue what is wrong he told me that i should drive the car until it is actually audible because now it is hard to identify which pulley could be making the noise.. I can feel the vibration through the steering wheel, sometimes its fine, sometimes i try to turn it as little as possible, because of how bad the vibration is. And by the way I was told that i have movement in my steering rack. Not horizontally, but vertically, i didn't know it can wear out like this, because I always thought there is a problem in rack and

 

And pinion

 

Something's not right, here. It sounds like you are talking about several different things at once, and you are likely dealing with several different issues. You might want to find a different mechanic, as the one you are going to isn't able to figure this out. If it's causing you a lot of stress, that's probably the best course. And if you're feeling it in the steering, that could potentially be dangerous.

I'm not sure how a rack could have vertical movement. Is it properly bolted to the subframe?

I've heard a bad power steering pump can cause a whining sound, but I've never heard this sound firsthand. I have experienced a failing water pump, which was more of a soft metallic sound, and a failing compressor, which was more of a grumbling. Something is dying in that area, but a competent mechanic should be ale to figure it out. And somebody telling you "there's movement in the rack" isn't really saying anything. Movement how? From what? Did they offer a real diagnosis and give you a quote on the work?

Yeah, you might want to try a different mechanic.

 

Maybe You find something similar in this video to noises of bad water pumps on 2gr-fe's? I inspected it could be a bad wp in the first place since i bought the car and noticed this sound

 

The mechanic told me that the way the steering rack has movement isn't causing any danger, and for a driver steering feels tight there isnt any "dead zone" it just has some clunking sound when you turn your steering wheel from left to right speedily. I finally managed to put a video on YouTube so You maybe can help me to identify where the sound could be coming from: Toyota Camry 2007 3.5 metallic sound through radiator where serpantine belt is
