my daughter just bought a 97 ES300 & we have a couple of questions. 1) there is a rattling noise in the front end when going over bumps. There seems to be play in the top strut mounts (between the strut rod and the cover) but I'm not sure if that is normal. 2) there is a small round knob on the bottom horizontal surface of the dash, to the right of the steering column. She did not get an owners manual with the car and we have no clue what the knob is for. Thanks for any ideas
