hey

i have a xv10 95 2.2L Front Wheel drive toyota camry, which seems to make a knock noise or a soft thud after i accelerate. This happens normally when i accelerate slowly and release the gas pedal.. The car has done about 100,000kms (62137Miles). Does anyone know what the problem is??

Thanks

motor mount, likely one towards the front end. A link to the manual for your car should be stickied at the top of the Camry forum. Read that first, as it will help you locate and inspect it (i think). If not, come on back.

I wouldn't schedule my week around it, but I would not put it off too long either. Get it done at your earliest convenience, but don't wait more than a month or so.

i know people who have driven longer than that with a bad mount. won't really hurt the engine, but might hurt things the engine connects to, or the connections between them. I believe (not sure) this can damage the trans, trans housing, or the seal between the engine and the trans.

thanks guys..i thought all along it was the timing belt tht needed replacing...im gonna chek up on it this weekend, did a scan and saw one bracket free near the air filter, so i am guessin the engine has shifted off the mount...oh one more qu, how much do you think it will cost me to get it fixed from a local mechanic including the mounts and labour??

thanks again
