hey, do you guy know anything about the 97 Camry have a rattling sound from the two front wheels whenever I'm driving alone especially when running over a small road bump or a crack, but the sound is hard to notice when there are 2 or more people in the car. Any idea, does this mean I need to change the strut or else, it has been like this for about 6 yrs. I heard other Camry owners said that they're having similar issues with their 96,97 Camry too. Is this normal for the Camry? Any thought? thanks.

Several months ago when I noticed the power steering power fluid leaked and took it to the Toyota Dealer to have it checked and they said the rack & pinion need to be replaced. So I let them did the work, this is the major replacements so far since I've owned it. Oh timing belt replaced twice because my mileage reached 110k already. Just write up my maintenance history up here so you guys know and have a better idea what is causing that clunk sound from my front wheels. Mine don't have hubcaps, they're rims. Right now the car doesn't have any kind of fluid leak and is in good shape. Just that clunk sound that make me wonder & what need to do with it. thanks again.

If you've never had your shocks/struts replaced ever then it would be time to do so. 110K is a lot of miles on those things. Get them replaced and you'll have better handling, better stopping and your tires won't wear out as fast.
