Greetings, lately I have been noticing some strange noises with my Toyota. The car will drive but I want to get these things fixed since I plan on offloading it to possibly a family member in the near future. Plus, some of these are annoying. It's a 2008 Toyota Camry v6 SE with 230388 miles. I would appreciate anything I can get.
1. When I start the car it squeaks for a couple minutes and sometimes it will squeak for about 10 minutes or so until it finally stops. The Idler Pully was changed not too long ago.
2. Separate from the first one my car is squeaking every time it accelerates but stops when I decelerate. I think it might be brake pads but I cannot confirm it's brake pads. It's less of a mouse sound and more of the sound it makes in the cartoons when you're sawing down a tree.
3. Sometimes my car would shake violently and make like a rumbling sound once I go above 60 mph. It did not used to do that until recently. A mechanic I asked thinks I should start with Transmission fluid. Sadly, there is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid.
Update: Hello, I just got the car repaired by my mechanic the other day, he was on vacation.
1. Was the pulley in the middle. Not sure what it was called.
2. It was actually the driver side CV joint. He was surprised I even managed to make it to the shop
3. My car hasn't been doing that lately. Not exactly sure why it was.
i had those repairs done, rotors done, and brakes done, cause it was that time.
My car is riding like a dream now.
Sounds good, thanks for letting us know how it turned out!
how much for the labor? and part

How many miles on the serpentine belt?
Have your battery + alternator load tested.

check your wheel bearings
, there is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid.
it's a different process. Take it to a transmission shop for diagnosis, but with 230k miles it could be going out.
