Camry :: 2005 LE - Rubbing Noise After Driver Door And Fender Repaired
Feb 24, 2014
Last year an 8pt buck ran in to my driver door and bounced off the fender of my '05 Camry LE. I was able to get it into the shop Jan. 17th and got the car back Jan. 29th (driver door shell was replaced and fender repaired).
Since then my car has been making inconsistent "errr . . . errr" sounds on the highway going 65-70mph from the area where the driver door and fender meet near the base. Best described as metal rubbing metal. From what I can tell:
1) the sound produces the most on long highway curves to the right going 65-70mph
2) the sound produces the most on warmer days (40 degrees was the warmest we've had here in MN) and on days like today where the weather is 8 degrees I can hear it once in a while but very inconsistently.
3)The exterior looks fine from what I can tell.
4) suspensions and engine are all fine
I have taken it back to the shop and they seem very doubtful the noise is due to their repairs but I am positive that this noise did not exist until after it left their shop. One of the reps even sat in the car and heard the noise while we drove on the highway. They initially blamed the car noise on lug nuts that were placed on backwards which I knew was an excuse to get me out of their shop. Sure enough as soon as I took it out on the highway the noise was still there.

the driver/rear suicide door combo is rubbing at the top and thus rattling on bumps. Looks to me like it is actually from the rear door as the gap in the very back is very wide at the top. the driver door gaps look normal along the front. Before I dig into this I wanted to check and find out the best way to approach. Is there an adjustment inside the hinge? the bolts on the jam look solid and have never been adjusted. Perhaps there is a hinge pin in there?

I've just purchased a 2005 Camry LE 4cyl Auto. It came with only one key (black rubberized Toyota key) and one keyless entry remote. I can only start the car with the key. it won't unlock the driver's door, trunk, nor glove box.
I had thought maybe it was a valet key but it should still unlock the driver’s door. I had a spare key made and bought a second remote, but am still having the same issue (key starts the car but will not unlock anything else).
I just want to be able to get in the car in case the battery dies in my keyless remote and I can't open the door or truck.
a couple of notes:
1) I thought maybe the door lock was sticking but since it’s not working on the door, truck, and glove box, I suspect it is something else
2) not keyed hole on any other doors to test out
3) not a chipped key as I had a spare made for $3 and it starts the vehicle.

I just recently dropped my car on BC racing coilovers 16k fronk and 14k rear. I am having slight rubbing issues in the Front only. For everyone that's dropped on coils, if you were rubbing what did you do? I currently have my dampening set on 16/32. The rubbing is actually only on my front fender liners. I love the comfort with 16/32 and don't want to turn it up stiffer and I don't want to raise it up too much. I was told to raise it, turn up stiffness or heat up fender liner and push it up or in a bit. Also for the rear since its 2 piece suspension, to raise or lower the rear 1/2 inch would you adjust the height on the BC struts or the BC springs (the one that's sitting in the bucket)? A shop installed mine and I've only owned 1pc rear suspension for my other cars.

I occasionally hear a buzzing sound in my driver side door. I turn down the radio to make sure it wasn't the speaker. This noise only last for a few seconds then goes away.

have a 2005 Reed Green V6 w/Equipment Package #1 (Includes Sound System I and Bi-Xenon Headlamps).
The only trouble I've had so far is a very low "clicking" coming from the front driver door speaker when the radio is on. Otherwise, I've enjoyed the vehicle a lot.I am also looking to install my IPOD so that I can play it through the radio...

I have a 2012 Camry LE and notice that when i open the rear driver side door, there is a clunking noise when it opens into one position. I tried greasing the hinge and it didn't make much of a difference.

I have a 05 camry that is making popping noises by the drivers side when the wheel is turned once around (left or right) in PARK. Everything looked good to me, I just recently got the car back from a shop.
*The car doesn't pop when it is in motion, because of this, I raised the front of the car to test and see if it would make the popping noise but there no popping noise either.

Installed eibach springs on the 7th gen camry? I installed mine this weekend, and I'm getting a like a rubbing sound when I turn the wheel from only the driver side. I removed the strut and spring combo to make sure everything was installed and aligned properly and it was. Just can't put my finger on why its only making that sound on the driver side.

I just purchased an '02 Camry. All doors lock with remote and interior door lock buttons. Only driver door unlocks with remote and door lock buttons. I have seen other posts with this issue, but not a clear solution.

A rubbing sound that began with lower temps (winter here). It occurs when going over bumps - even small. Does not occur at highway speeds. Gets quite loud. Does not have to do with steering or heat as far as I can determine. Some times does not occur at all. Don't know if any relation, but recently the dome light is coming on when coming to a complete stop.

Recently I started hearing a noise that sounds like something that is rotating is rubbing on something. It starts at at about 5 MPH and gets higher pitched as I go faster.
I've had the dealer and another mechanic tell me it's coming from inside the transmission.
The thing is my car shifts absolutely fine and the noise is not associated with shifting at all. It's an 07 and only has 47k miles on it! Could something in the gearbox already be damaged?
When tear the transmission apart if they will be able to run the gearbox and determine if the noise is from the gearbox?
I did make a transmission related mistake that caused the noise to occur. I was shifting from reverse to drive and I think I gassed it a little early and it lurched a bit. What this would put pressure on?

My 05 Jetta TDI is intermittently making a rubbing/grinding noise. Not in stop and go traffic but when I come to a stop at a stop sign, but only just before I come to a complete stop, not as soon as I hit the brakes. The shop that put the brakes on (about 18000 miles ago) looked at pads, rotors and pedal but said it's all fine. Could it be the booster, abs, or something else completely?

I have a 2013 Elantra. There is a rubbing type noise in the driver front when braking and turning right. It only rubs(catches) in one spot. Almost like a pulsation, however doesn't pulsate. Hard to describe. Has a new wheel bearing. There are new pads and rotors (two sets of rotors). Took to my Hyundai dealer today. They can't find anything visible. They said only option is to start adjusting/replacing parts as trial and error.

I have 7mm spacers and when I take a hard turn, I get like an almost bouncing, rubbingish, thudding noise and feeling from my driver side wheel/tire area. I have FK coils. Do I need bigger front spacers? I have RC's btw, it gets worse as I go lower, and seems to go away if I really raise it up... how does everyone get away with this?
