name of Tail light / wobble from rear?

[italianjeremy]

hey guys!

nice to be here, and nice to have a jap toyota again!
anyways, bought a 94 camry le for outside sales, and had 3 questions.

1 .well i found out the name of the panel on back. lid trim panel . . now i just need to find a cheap replacement.



2. if im at 20-50mph, and slowly accelerate 'grandma style speed' , the car will kind of hop or wobble funny on acceleration, then be gone by freeway speeds. the STEERING WHEEL doesnt shake at all, just upon mild acceleration from 20-50mph. if i let go of the gas, it stops.
i read here it shold be a bent or unbalance rear tire since it wouldnt be front one cus then youde have steering wheel wobble.
this is strange feeling. its not the engine either cus i put it into neutral and revved it at high speed and no wobble. he put new tires on it a month ago, but theyre BST brand???? prolly junk.

3. my lights for my temperature and fan knobs dont work. the only light that comes on in the center console is the ac green light when i turn the fan on obviously. the lighter works, dash works as usual wheni turn my headlights on. looked at fuses by my left knee. and theyre ok. any other fuses im not seeing? or should i simply start diggin behind dash? kinda weird but maybe related.... the "D" letter for drive on intrument panel by speedometer is out. all the others work: 2 , 1 , N , R and park. must be a bulb eh?


thanks for the help in advance! jeremy

p.s. i cant believe it didnt come with factory license plate lamps... there are holes cut out with metal plates blocking them... guess i need to get them(ohio po po's will pull you over right away)

you have fuses under hood on drivers side..the wobble is a seperated tire or bent rim i'd say
tire is seperated....

It could also simply be a wheel/tire combination that is out of balance. If you have the receipt for the tires the previous owner recently purchased, I would take the car back to them and see if they will check the balancing. If not, another thing you can do to test this theory is to rotate the tires front to back on one side at a time and then take the car for a ride. Does the vibration seem to move to the front now? If so, it will now be more noticable in the steering wheel. The reason I suggested doing one side at a time is so that you can isolate the problem wheel/tire combination. This will also test for a bent wheel.

thanks guys.. ill try switchin the tires. weird thing is he just got them. the REALLY weird part is when it wont wobble until i press the gas pedal... like goin in neutral and coasting wont do anything. only notice on acceleration.
