The old man left very bad the lower spring seat, was a poor job.
Great video! MH
Hi, what kind of tools would I be needing to tackle this job?
Thanks for posting the video
The only reason we would recommend not doing is the coil spring compression
is extremely dangerous. It’s best to have this done by an ASE certified
technician. Every manufacturer has varying torque guidelines. Most of the
mechanics we have worked with use the good-n-tight method. You may consider
calling your dealership or asking on the forums for all torque
recommendations.
Typically you should replace shocks and struts every 50,000 miles.
It really just depends. If you have a seized lower bolt, that can cause
some problems. You might also get in there and realize you need to replace
some other wearable parts. I think a reasonable labor expectation for all
four struts on a Camry would be 3 hours.
Very helpful. Thank you for the video.
Thank you good vidio.
Not sure that it would be an alignment issue. You may want to have someone
turn the wheel for you while you take a look to make sure you have perfect
clearance for everything. It sounds like something is rubbing when you make
a hard turn.
Thank you so much for the video! Also I would like to know is this a heavy
labor job? cause it sure didn’t look like it. please answer thank you very
much.
Well I removed the wheel and took a look. Seems I have a leaking CV axle.
Or two. Already picked a new one up. Will be replacing soon enough. 😉
Thanks for the help though.
Yes, this fits a V6.
After how many miles do you have to replace these on average?
Do you have a video for a 2011 Camry? What would the differences be and do
you sell the parts? I need to replace both of my front struts.
Did you get new Strut Mount Bump stop/shoes and Spring rubber (insulator)
aswell ? i dont think its CV, if your car not lowering or modifying
something then stock, regardless of alignment CV whatsoever.
I assume you are asking about the coil spring insulator that sits between
the spring seat and the coil spring? Unfortunately we do not carry these at
the moment. We sell the struts, strut mounts and boot kits separately and
in kits.
would the sensen struts work on a lowering springs? and what comes in the
box? thank you!
Sound an impact wrench take care of the seized bolts?
Lowering springs should use Performance parts like “Tokico Blue Strut”
MeganRacing, AG, Tein S, and at least KYB Strut. other struts are designed
for Stock spring rate only, improper use can blow your strut and cause
bottom out. You can use but road’s condition in your area must be smooth
and no bump or pothole, more pothole u hit its faster blow the normal strut
will be, i recommend performance strut like Tokico-Blue i’m using it.
We truly appreciate your business!
Is this for a v6 Camry?
I need new front struts on a 2009 Camry. A few quick questions: 1. I’ve
never done struts before, but I’m very handy and and do a lot of around the
house type fixes. This doesn’t look too hard. Is there a reason for me not
to do this? 2. Other tutorials mention a specific foot-pound target when
reassembling the strut. You didn’t mention that. Is it crucial, or do you
just make sure they’re on good and tight?
Hi there, I recently replaced my wifes 2003 Camry struts and shocks. They
came as one pre-assembled unit so no need to recycle anything from old
parts. The installation went as smooth as possible (a few scraped knuckles
and sprained hand muscles). Though now I notice at LOW speeds (making 90
degree turns, parking) that there is a some odd sounds. They vary from
random taps to almost grinding. I have not performed a front wheel
alignment yet. Could that be the issue? Or does something need lube?
The only thing that comes in the box with these struts are the top nut.
Many people use Sensen’s with lowering springs. The product is not designed
for this intent as they are designed for OE replacement purposes. Lowering
Springs voids the warranty which many people are okay with because of the
affordability of these struts compared to high-end performance lowering
struts which can cost nearly $1,000 or more.
I AM A DO-IT-YOURSELF TYPE OF PERSON AND IT HELP ALOT. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
I try to let the video do the talking as much as possible. Less is more.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Awesome video! Do your struts come with the insulator?
Great video. I really liked the proper way of alternating of the wheel lugs
to have proper torque. Just don’t forget the torque wrench on the wheels to
double check.
Thank you, great video. I especially liked the fact that the video wasn’t
polluted by too much chatter. So many of these guys are like frustrated
actors who see a camera record light and can’t shut up! Informative and to
the point.
