does anyone else on here have a knock sound that sound bad when u open or close the doors? i had this same issue with my 94 Camry back in the day... it sounds horrible n takes away from the class of the car.. both front doors do it.. anyone ever fix this or can tell me how to go about doing it.. i know where the noise is coming from its a little arm that goes from the uni-frame to the door.. any help would be appreciated thanks

 

I think the arm you are talking about is called a door check strap. Sometimes the two 10mm screws get loose and it makes noise. If that is the case, just tighten them. Worst case senario, the check straps are bad and you would have to replace them. But that is not bad to do, you do have to remove the door panel to gain access to them.

 

hmm thanks! i appreciate your response.. i'll get on it

 

where are the 2 10mm screws that ur talking about?

 

my initial thought was: GHOST!

but maybe Hunter is right..

 

I had the same problem when i first bought mine. If my memory serves me right (it rarely does) then there are two arms that extend when you open the door. There is a T30 bolt that attaches this arm to the frame of the car. I tightened it up with a bolt driver by hand and have never heard a creaking or a pop noise come from the door in over a year.

 

i'll give this one and the other a try.. thanks guys

 

the two bolts should be on the door. You can also check if the pin on the frame is on properly.
