Me too buddy, me too. Wouldn’t we all love to get our Camry ride quality back to factory, these Camry’s were magic carpets. I love my 99
Good video, only thing I would add is if you have the cloth interior, remove the pieces by the seats first. Dirt sticks to it easy.
Disappointed with not showing how to un-screw all 3 three nuts off the top of the strut. One the one easy one is shown, not the other 2 pain in the butt ones.????? Come on show the whole process, everything else was good
Hey! Thank you for this vid…i got down to the top of the strut and was confused if i should remove the three bracket bolts or try to take the main nut off the top of the shock. wish my job was moving as fast as this video did!
get it on a lift or something that will allow you to see the strut. If its cracked or leaking it needs replacement (the strut). Get your aligment checked too. It could be just that. Strut is the worst you have to worry about.
The vid cites 1992-2001. Would the steps be roughly the same for my 1990 Camry? Also … I’m unsure of the last strut-replacement mileage; but I’m getting slight cupping on the driver-rear tire. What’s the best way to know clearly that I do or don’t need new shocks/struts. Might I only need new bushings?
I have to replace the left rear strut on my Corolla 1999 and I believe it is the same way. Thank you for the very clear video. Joe
The rear strut mounts for the 97-2001 is part number 70050 and they do show on the website with the boot attached. The 92-96 is a different strut mount part number, which I should have noted in the video. It is part number 70180 and does not have the boot attached.
Yes, it should be the same.
I’ve heard it’s pretty much the same as a toyota avalon. I have a 96, is the installation pretty much the same?
I hate videos like this, make me feel like I could replace my struts in 10 minutes. I know ill be in there 3 days later with half the job done and something irreparably damaged.
Thats when the middle of the tire wears more than the outside and its doing that because you need new struts
This video says that the boots come attached to the “strut mounts”. It does not say that they come with the struts.
The video says very specifically that the boots are attached and come with the struts. Be aware they do not and you will have to order them extra.
how much is a ball joint.
It did need a new motor but the body and interior are in excellent condition.Got a used low mileage engine for $600 and it runs like a top.It has new struts now and also bought a 2011 Camry but kept the 96.The guy that owns the salvage yard had too many vehicles and had to make room,thats why it was slated for the crusher.
You paid $186 for working Camry with 160K? Why were they going to crush it? What work did it need?
What is cupping? The top inside wall of my tires are now rubbing against my struts. I have 8 tires each on their own rims (summers and snows). It the same for all of them.
does anyone know what size of allen socket is the one for the link?
Can you buy struts that already come with the spring installed, as one whole unit, so you don’t have to worry about spring compression?
They absolutely will. I had this problem on my Jetta rears. If you can afford it…its often not a bad idea to replace your shocks/struts and tires at the same time.
Will bad rear struts cause your rear tires to cup?
It could be the trailing arm. I would check to make sure that your stabilizer bar link is in good condition, though this would make more of a clunking sound. You may also want to make sure that the coil spring is in the proper position as sometimes the spring will slip and rub on the seat if not positioned properly. Another source of noise could be a worn coil spring seat insulator.
There is a link in my description above for your 1996 Camry struts. Just deselect what you do not need and use the promo code “camryvideo”. We essentially sell all four struts for around $160.
So I changed my struts all four on my Toyota Camry 1999 V6 XLE, but I get a rubbing sound from the rear driver side every time I drive on a curvy road. Could I be my trailing arm, or did I just buy a bad shock? I also replaced the sway bar endlink, however I still get the same sound. all I carry in the trunk is a fairly light weight stroller.
Good info,thanks.I wouldn’t have thought about replacing the stabilizers as well,only makes sense though,why put new parts with old parts.I towed my 96 Camry 17,000 miles behind my RV on a car dolly with a loaded trunk all original struts,I,m sure it didn’t do it justice…But now its time for replacements.Around $120 per strut minus labor is what I,m seeing.160000 miles on it and it gets 36 M.P.G.Paid $185 from a salvage yard that was going to crush it.Kinda like a rescue dog.4 years now.
The 2003 falls within the 2002-2003 range of Toyota Camry. We have not performed an installation on the 2003 yet but it should be a very similar process to what you see here.
Thank you very much Sir, now will this video work for my 2003 Camry rear struts?
