Hello,
I have a 2003 Toyota Camry LE with the 2.4 L engine. When I acceletare
or brake, I can feel what I describe as a thump in the steering wheel.
It only happens as soon as the car stops braking, or when I am stopped
and I accelerate. It's as if the engine thumps against the steering
wheel.
What should I check?
Thank You

You are describing a bad CV joint that will also usually cause a
harmonic vibration around 55 to 65 mph.

A worn or broken part that allows any abnormal movement will typically
be felt in the steering wheel as this is where your hands are while
driving. Maybe check the engine and transmission mounts.
