Will 92-94 Tokico Blues work for 95-96? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Boy oh boy,
I bought Tokico Blues for my '95 i4 LE, and they came in today. But i looked at the part number, and they're the part number for the 92-94 Camry

. Will they fit for my '95 ? I'm so worried, i got my spring about 3 weeks ago, and i have been waiting for these, so i can install all at once. Please advise me, thank you for anyhelp!

Actually i bought them from GQ Bien on these forums in the classified section. Make sure you check peridocally, they have some great stuff. I bought them for $220 shipped. They're brand new, and i can't wait to install them (if i can

)

yes....in the end, it all just comes down to if your struts are serviceable or not....

even if your struts are serviceble, who knows how much damage has happened to the struts,

when i took out my 11 year old front struts i knew there was no way i was going to replace them

plus the full strut is only like 10$ more a piece

You only reuse the strut housing. The internals get dumped out and replaced with a cartridge / insert.

oh great, so what do i do? I am thinking about installing them this week sometime. Should i just install the ones i have? Will they work? THanks.

Remove the struts from the car, remove the nut on top of the strut, dump out the internals, place the Tokico's into the strut housing, and install new nut (comes with the Tokico's).

The nut is torqued on and its a bitch to remove. What I do is clamp it in a vise, shove a long 3/8" extension through one of the bolt holes on the bottom of the strut, and break that bitch loose.

Should work if you have serviceable struts.

Heres a scan of the instructions that came with my Tokico's:

lol, i cannot install the struts myself. I am going to get them installed for $100. But thanks for the instructions anyways!

I appreciate it.

But what i wanted to know is, these WILL fit on my car correct? Thank you for all your posts.

yeah, the housings, hitting them with a screwdriver (once the cartrige was out) there were some places where i could just push the screwdriver through
