#7 of 26 96 camry LE problem by yud Apr 10, 2001 (12:47 pm)
I have a 96 Toyota Camry LE and recently I noticed that there is a creak sound coming from the whole interior body of the car whenever I change the speed of the car or go over a bump. It seems to me that this strange sound didn't come up until the timing belt was changed by a toyota dealer. I am just wondering if anyone knows how to fix it. Thanks a lot.
#8 of 26 1998 Camry strut mounts (noisy) by carmaker1 May 12, 2001 (1:06 am)
I own a camry with noisy strut mounts.When turning at low speeds a rubbing rubber sort of noise comes from the strut towers.Because of my affiliation with Toyota I know several other Camry owners who own cars that all came off the line at roughly the same time (within weeks)who have the same problem.The problem begins around 40000-60000km's so if your warranty (60 000km's) is almost up you might want to have this checked.
#9 of 26 Moisture behind glass on Speedometer by anselmo1 May 15, 2001 (8:04 am)
I have the same problem with my 1999 Camry. All along the bottom inside on the speedometer glass, there is spots that formed. It seems to be condensation from the inside caused by a loose seal or from the air conditioning ducts. Going to take my car in to have it looked at while it is still under warranty.
#10 of 26 noisy strut mounts - 97 LE by ksullivan May 15, 2001 (12:32 pm)
I've been hearing a rubbing noise too from the front end when I turn at a slow rate of speed. Maybe I have the same problem-noisy strut mounts. Is this something I should be concerned about? My car is well out of warranty (115K) and otherwise drives great. The only annoyance is that it is very low to the ground. I almost forgot, the factory 3CD player is also pretty obnoxious...I'm hoping it'll break so I can justify replacing it. Great car overall, though.
#11 of 26 Car bottoming out by chrisatwood May 26, 2001 (3:21 pm)
I recently purchased a 98 Camry LE v4 with only 9200 miles on it from a dealership. The car seems to be in perfect condition inside and out, but I have found that when I have passengers in the back seat the car tends to bottom out when I'm coming out of or going into an underground parking garage. And now my wife tells me that the car also bottoms out exiting her driveway at work when only she is driving it! Is this a common problem with Camrys? What does it take to fix it? (I know this is a '99 discussion group, but any help would be appreciated)
#12 of 26 Sounds like bad shocks by anselmo1 May 26, 2001 (7:23 pm)
I would take the car back to the dealer and have him check the rear shocks. It should be covered under the warranty. No, my 1999 Camry LE does not bottom out with people in the back seat.
#13 of 26 It's not shocks by 210delray May 27, 2001 (7:38 am)
I think he's referring to the underside of the car scraping the pavement. It's a problem with the Camry because of its low ground clearance.

in my 97 I counld't go over speed bumps without hitting them. Worse with people in the back seat.
#15 of 26 front wheel bearing and steering knuckle problem by mlb1958 May 31, 2001 (11:15 am)
I have a 1999 Toyota Camry LE w/20,000 mi. I brought it to the dealer for normal service and to check for the cause of front vibration at 60 mph. The service tech replaced a shock absorber, steering knuckle, and bearing to correct the problem. The service tech claimed I must have hit something to cause the damage and therefore the repair would not be covered under warranty. Are you aware of any problems with the vehicle that may have caused this damage.
#16 of 26 Camry Wheel Vibration 60+mph by lugwrench May 31, 2001 (1:42 pm)
I know that the Camry had problems with a steering wheel vibration that occurred due to a bad shipment of General Tires. Anything faster than 60 mph and the steering wheel would shake. The General Tires couldn't be balanced properly. Unless there is visible damage on the parts replaces, the parts should be covered under warranty. I would ask them to show you the parts they claimed were damaged by your neglect. If no damage is visible, I would then call the Toyota Regional Office and tell them of your problem which should have been covered under warranty. Hope you get the satisfaction you deserve.
