Steering wheel issue

Sep 20, 2006 2 Replies

Hello,



I have a 2003 Toyota Camry LE with the 2.4 L engine. When I acceletare or brake, I can feel what I describe as a thump in the steering wheel. It only happens as soon as the car stops braking, or when I am stopped and I accelerate. It's as if the engine thumps against the steering wheel.



What should I check?



Thank You



You are describing a bad CV joint that will also usually cause a harmonic vibration around 55 to 65 mph.

A worn or broken part that allows any abnormal movement will typically be felt in the steering wheel as this is where your hands are while driving. Maybe check the engine and transmission mounts.
