I have a 1992 Camry that still runs good and looks good but lately there has been a bad vibration that lasts either briefly or the entire trip. The engine and transmission work fine. It feels and sounds like it is in the front left wheel or the brakes. Any idea what it could be?

Get your suspension inspected. It could be a bushing, ball joint, wheel bearing or bad strut. Maybe a combination of things in a 17 year old car.

Thanks, the car is only 12 years old. Typo. Over 200,000 trouble free driving in this car. Can’t beat that! I apppreciate your reply.

It could also be a just a wheel out of balance a bent rim or a defective tyre. The shop should check for all these.
