My Camry is 94 model, 4 cylinders.
There is something hitting together from the front when my car passing an uneven road, but there is no sound to be heard when passing at a very low speed. All four struts (Monroe) are only 2 months old. Front sway bar bushings had been changed and they were shopped from Toyota. Can anybody have me an ideal? Would it be the front stabilizer bar link? Thanks

It sounds like it could be either the stabilizer bar link, or it could be some bushings. Most likely if it is a bushing problem, it would be in the control arms.

Do you know how to check the condition of the stabilizer bar link?

You visually inspect it. Check the bushings for damage, and check to make sure there are no bends or breaks in it.

Get under the car as best you can and listen while someone bounces on the bumper.

The bushing are newly installed but I didn't clean the sway bar before installing. Would it be generating the rattling noise? Does it need lubricant to wrap around the bushing?

I think it will need a strong force to generate the rattling noise. Do you have any other ideal?

I checked there is no bend or damage with the rubber that wrapped the ball joint.

It is not hard to do. Just get a guy to do it. You'd be surprised. It's always possible that you need a big jolt to make the noise, but what I suggested is easy to try, right?

Brian is right, it might need just a little shake to help determine where the noise is. That would probably be the easiest way to determine exactly where the noise is.

I hope I already fixed the problem. I found the battery mounting bracket was loosen a little bit. I tighten it and it seems to be improved a lot, but I will keep listening it. Thanks for your guys' help
