Suspension sound..

[ice745]

I recently started drivign with the windows down, since its summer. And I also haven't had the music on either. But now that I can hear the engine noise and such, I noticed my suspension is making a noise. I am not sure if its normal, nor how long its been doing it. If I hit a good enough bump, like usually potholes that have been filled yet still have that dip to them, the suspension goes in fine, but then when it pushes the wheel back down it makes a clanking kind of noise at full extension on the right side. I recently had a "camber adjustment bolt" on the same side, I don't know if thats causing it.

Thanks for any tips.

If you have a '97 or so Camry, they have a problem with the strut tower mount.

Probably a loose suspension part somewhere. Check the lower and upper strut bolts for tightness, also the sway bar ends and support bushings. Could also be a worn suspension component such as a lower ball joint or tie-rod end, etc. Have it looked at by a competent mechanic if you can't find an obvious loose bolt.
