2002 Solara Issues

[lilnelly]

Hello I had my Solara for 2 weeks now, And I love her. I just notice some things going on with her. First, When Im slowing down or turning a corner I hear a knocking noise, also the seats sometime creek while Im braking. Also when I stop and the car is in Drive it shakes not bad but when I put it in Neutral I can hear like some liquids flowing or something. Also, When I ride over bumps in the road its the worst, Does that mean I need new tires or shocks I dont know. This is my first car so really unsure.

Thanks if anyway can help

the clunking noises you are most likely hearing are blown shocks, a major issue with most solaras. seat creaking you could just tighten the bolts holding the seat and lube up moving parts. the shaking can be many things.. dirty air filter, dirty intake manifold, dirty tranny fluid. i recommend checking those first
