Rear end rattle at slow speed
I have a 1997 Camry XLE, 317,000 miles.
For the last few months it has developed a rattle heard only on streets, not the highway. I can be going as slow as 25 miles per hour and it sounds like the whole rear end is going to fall off. Upon inspection I see absolutely nothing loose. Due to the high miles, I did change out the old stuts, springs and strut mounts. The rattle did not go away. Another inspection and I thought maybe it is from the number 2 lower suspension arms. If I grab and rotate the arms, I can simulate some rattle noises. Maybe the bushings in these arms are shot? They are the original. Any help would be appreciated. Update on 8/8/2010 I took a shot and replaced the stabilizer bar bushings. Best $15 ever spent. Problem solved. |
