ok, so i replaced the sway bar bushing and still had the noise that sounds like knocking from the rear.

i jacked the 1994 camry up and i grabbed the rear left wheel and notcied there was play in it from side to side.

i then took off the wheel and grabbed the drum and noticed the nut at the far right of the control arm # 2 has some play where the rubber bushing is(see pics) . now this isnt the control arm, thats in the shape of a L or J . this is where the lower arm #2 comes from the middle of the gas tank and shoots out towards behind the drum and is in plae by a HUGE bolt that runs parallel with the length of the car and also goes through the lower arm # 1 first.

anyways, this 3/4" nut is a bear to get off. but ill use air tools soon.
i was curious if they sell the rubber bushing stuff that goes on each side of the lower arm #2 on the bolt that connects it?

i saw that bushing repair kit ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-91-CAMRY-90-91-ES250-LOWER-CONTROL-ARM-BUSHING-KIT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33583QQihZ003QQitem Z130032271772QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V )
but i dont think thatll work right?

again, if i grab the wheel drum and move it side to side, i can see there is play to the left and to the right of where the lower arm # 2 attaches to that huge bolt(by rubber bushing) . i know this is whats making the noise.

thanks guys!!!

if you have time you can mold your own bushings. all you will need is some M3 winow weld and a flat conatner to set the bushing in for about 24 hours to dry. using the M3 makes a cheap but really reliable polly bushing. we have done it on sevral cars. the easyest way is to mold it around what ever you have left of the old bushing. We have a set that has out lasted a car and are still in use today. don't worry about it looking messy no one is really going to look under your car any ways. have fun
