problem #1

Camry LX 2.2L 4 cyl

The clicking sound coming from your wheel wells, (could be all four), is a loose nut (fitting) that attaches the sway bar links to the actual sway bar. If left unfixed the link can actually bore out the nut hole and make it bigger, thus, you would need a new sway bar. ($75 at junkyard). Don't take it to a mechanic. They will say you need a new axle shaft or CV joint/boot and want to charge you $600+ when in all reality all you need is a 5/16 wrench and an allen wrench (hex key). Take the wheels off and it will be right before your eyes. New sway bar links are $24.99 anywhere you go, but they aren't necessary.... Unless you don't care to spend your hard earned money.
