Toyota Repair: Wheels, strut mounts, toyota solara


Question
Ok I have a 2000 Toyota Solara and I would like to know whats going on with my car. Every time I hit a bump sounds like the right wheel is going to fall off. It's a loud rattling sound. Tried to see what it was but I can't pinpoint the problem.

Answer
common problem is that the upper strut mounts are worn, open the hood and remove the small black rubber cover on top of the mounts, use a 3/4 or 19mm socket with a long breaker bar or ratchet and see if the top nut is loose, sometimes tightening them will solve the problem but if they are worn too much the strut mounts and possibly the struts will need to be replaced.
