Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla with

60,000 miles. I love the car. It’s nevergiven me any problems, except thisone: It has an annoying vibration thatoccurs exclusively when I’m stoppedwith the brake engaged. If I’m stoppedat a light and I put the car in park, thevibration goes away. My mechanic ofmore than 36 years (he’s excellent) isstumped. He’s replaced two motormounts that he thought were causingthe problem. When the vibration didn’tgo away, he replaced a third motormount. But it’s still vibrating. Anythoughts on what’s causing this andhow to fix it? -- Jillian

TOM: The motor mount was a goodguess. Usually it’s the big one in frontthat breaks and causes this kind of vi-bration.

RAY: But he’s replaced all threemotor mounts now. So I’m going to goout on a limb and say that the motormounts are not the problem.

TOM: That’s why you wrote to us,Jillian -- for that kind of keen analysis,right?

RAY: Actually, I’m guessing you have

the same problem that we saw recentlyin the shop.

TOM: It also was a Corolla. Every-thing under the sun had been tried tostop it from vibrating.

RAY: I had the car out for a testdrive, and I was stopped at a light. Thething was shaking and buzzing, and forsome reason, I decided to pop the hoodrelease. And the vibration stopped.

TOM: Turned out the hood was vi-brating.

RAY: There are two little “bumpers”that stick up from the radiator supportunder the hood. Their job is to push up

against the underside of the hood whenit’s closed and keep it from vibrating. Iguess they had worn down, and theyweren’t doing their job anymore.

TOM: They’re actually adjustable, soall we had to do was back them out afew turns, close the hood and voila! Wecharged the lady 450 bucks and gaveher the car back.

RAY: No, it was a five-minute job. Sowe charged her only $425. But I’mguessing that’s what’s wrong with yourcar, Jillian. Have your mechanic check itout, and let us know.
