rear suspension noise 97 camry - 8/16/2007 1:54:33 PM    yuke   Posts: 18 Joined: 4/10/2007 Status: offline    If any one can help narrow it down where my noise is coming from it would be appreciated.The car has 155,000 on it and never had any suspension componets replaced.The noise is worse at low speed 5mph and sounds like a metal to metal clank.I had the one strut rod off that goes from front to back and it looks to good to replace at a dealer cost of $110.I am now looking closely at my suspension arms that run from wheel to middle of car of which you have 4  and 2 are used to adjust alignment of rear wheels.The rear ones are the adjustable ones and those are the ones I am honeing in on.I'm hoping that I can replace the bushings in them and not have to buy the whole arm.Did any one else experiance a noise like I'm describing and what did you replace to get rid of noise?The dealer told me he sells a lot of the small stabilizer bar links that go from the schock to a suspension bar but they look good to me.

Replace your rear sway(stablizer bar) bar bushings, cost about $20.00. Its an easy fix should only take 30 min to replace. You need to jack the rear off the ground and do both sides at the same time. While your at it raplace the front bushings also, they will need it. (in reply to yuke) Post #: 3
