Toyota Camry: 1998 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder

    1998 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder

    I have a 98 Camry CE 4 cylinder that just hits 120K miles. I bought it at
    90K miles. About a week this problem started, when I am driving I hear a
    whistling noise, it gets lighter and faster as I accelerate in speed, it is
    coming from the rear and gets louder when I apply the brakes. Could it just
    be brake pads??

    Also, I have a few other questions, I didn't know if I should do different
    posts or not.

    1) Should I use synthetic? I did on my last oil change because the kwik-lube
    said that was the best for high mileage cars.

    2) I just got new struts on the front and I hear this popping rattling and
    a local place said I need new strut mounts now. Does this sound right?

    3) The driver window comes up slowly... What Can I do if anything?

    4) I got some of the engine treatment you put in your gas is that good?
    Also what about a engine flush? My dad has said hell no to it, that it will
    cause things to break up and create a problem.

    Any idea's and thoughts would be most appreciative. I can't afford a new
    car so I have to make this one last.

    Thanks,
    Josh

    your noise sounds like break wear indicators and they are already
    scoring the rotor , get them checked now.
    1 synthetic is good
    2 ?
    3? I have same problem, probably need a 350$ motor
    4 Gas treatment is basicly alcohol, it absorbes water so it can be
    burned , good for bad gas or cold temperatures 10 and below.. engine
    flush Forget it , it could mess up your motor

    Use Chevron Techron in gas to clean injectors. Forget motor flush - just use
    good grade (NOT Havoline) dino oil and change every 3-4k miles (avoid lowend
    FRAM filters too). Rear of your CE has drums not discs (doesn't it?) -
    hence shoes vice pads. Apply silicone spray to window track to ease movemnt
    of glass.

    I think it does have drums. So those are called shoes?? Do you concur with
    m Ransely about it being those that are wearing out hence the sound?

    Thanks,
    Josh

    What's the big deal? Jack up the car, remove a rear wheel, remove the
    drum, and inspect the shoes! This isn't heart surgery.

    Use a jack stand for safety - and avoid breathing the brake dust.

    My 98 Camry has discs AND drums in the rear wheels....
    The discs are for normal braking.
    The drums are for the parking brake only.

    Jan... WHEN you are joking, at least put a smiley emoticon in the
    sentence. The drums are used during all braking and for the Parking
    Brake. You wanna test that notion of yours? Jack up one rear wheel,
    release the Parking Brake, apply the brake pedal, and with the brake
    still applied have someone else attempt to turn that elevated rear tire.

    Class over.
