2009 camry le front end knock/creak
 

Hi everybody,this is my first post and i need some help.
I have been noticing knock/creak type noise on my 2009 Camry from the right front end of the car over large bumps and deep potholes(speed bump,etc.)I can duplicate the noise when push hard up and down front fender with the wheels facing straight ahead.If i turn the wheels all the way to the left or to the right the noise disappear.Sometimes i can hear the noise when drive the car and making left turns.The dealer change the strut and mount but this not solve the problem.I think is the end link or strut bearing but more for the link because there is no noise when steering to the left or right when the car is parked or leaving parking spots.
So any advice what could be?Thanks for your input
By the way the rubber boot of the link i think is broken because grease coming out.

A bad strut bearing typically makes a popping noise when turning the steering wheel.

Could be the strut link. It should be easy enough to disconnect one end then determine if the noise is still there.

I can disconnect one side,but i am afraid that after that it is going to be very hard to connect again because of the torsion of the bar.I mean the bar will drop down or up?

Hello, I have a 2007 LE Camry 2.4 liter and also having thump or rattle on the driver side. When I drive on the road or the road is a little bumpy I can hear it. It drove me nuts hearing that sound. The car has only 48000 miles on it and extended warranty does not cover the struts at all. What a waste of money on the warranty. I have to find out what is causing it. Peeps I am open to any suggestion from anyone.
