i just checked under the car at safeway cuase there is more light and seems to me that the rear um i dont know wut they are called but the rear i guess links that go from the rear wheels to the rear center like the one on the driver side is slightlly bent...my dad said it may be the struts? but i just changed them...also when i went over a speed bump it kinda made a noise like when u get on a matress

umm i think its the rear sway bar umm question what are tie rod links??? anyone help me?

[latinomasfino]

here is wut i think is wrong
thast the driver side the side i hear the noise

that should be the rack and pinion... for some reason.. my celica makes squeeky noises too... when i go over bumps... could be the shocks but it sometimes sound like it's coming from the center of my car... like my dash or somewhere behind the engine... sort of sound like a loose enging mount or something... im not sure though.. but that rack and pinion thing is only for when you turn and pushes in and out though.. as i know... well im not sure either...

Those things in the picture are you tie rod end links. If they were in the front, they would be part of the steering setup. They are pretty easy to replace and they could be the source of the sounds you are getting. I would replace them, its a fairly simple job but you have to get an alignment done when you do them, unless you can somehow do it perfectly. Since they are in the rear I would think they could mess with your camber a bit so you might want to get alignment/camber adjustment done when you replace those. I think that is correct but you may want a second opinion because I am not sure.
