What is your question?
When breaking and turning, there's a rattling noise coming from under the gas and brake pedals or from underneath the front driver side. I had hit a deer and had car fixed and afterwards is when It started making the noise I also had the tires replaced right after car was repaired from hitting the deer and it seems like the noise started after repair/ new tires so I'm not sure which is the problem I took it to tire place to have it looked at and they said they never heard the noise which is absolutely ridiculous it does it everytime you use the breaks and make turns to the left. 2012 Toyota camry

Hi this is Dusty, I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team! It sounds like a frustrating situation! The symptoms you are experiencing leads me to believe that the control arm bushings have failed, most likely the rearward bushing. The noise you're hearing is the arm making contact with the bolt that secures the control arm to the subframe, or the arm contacting the subframe itself, which is very close to where you described hearing the results of the failure. I'd recommend having a competent professional evaluate the vehicle, when suspension components like control arms fail, it can affect your vehicle's stability and ability to brake properly.
