2000 Camry a bit too noisy..
 

I own a 2000 Camry. Recently, a problem has reared its head.Sometimes whenI make left turns,it sounds like a woooing/ deep moaning metallic sound from the left side. Also,sometimes when Idrive over bumps, a ka-squeak comes from the left side. Steering and ride are not affected. Otherwise it's a great car, with plenty of power! Somebody please offer some diagnosis.. the wooing is especially disheartening. The car's only got 52000 miles!!!! My email is julyleo3@hotmail.com.

Thank You in advance!

Check the shock and spring on that side as well as there mounts. This suggestion is purely based on the fact that you also have a noise over bumps. you may also wanted to see if your steering rack is leaking or the source of the noise although that is unlikely.

OK..thanks. The two problems I mentioned are independent of each other, sorry if that caused confusion. I'll be back if I have any more questions.

I have a 200 camry as well, good car. I have 110k with t-belt and a battery and thats it.
At 100k I replaced my strutts with KYB's with fresh strutt mounts(old ones were slightly siezed but other wise still intact). At the same time I bought some 2" lower springs and stronger sway bars front and rear, what a difference! Anyways with yer questions.....

** Moaning noise possible low p/s fluid or a leak(sucking air)at your p/s return hose.?..
** The Ka-squeek,tough one, maybe the rubber insulator for the strutt spring? Has it ever been in a front end collision?
Is this the original owner? Do a title/history report? Over the net this is a crap shoot, sorry.
