Okay well as i stated my 98 camry has 93k and you are starting to feel it. Im not sure what is really going on it im not too familiar with suspensions but i know its alot rougher when going over bumps than it should be its starting to sound like an 80s chevy pickup truck

. i was wondering what usually goes and what needs replacing after 93k of wear and tear.

Struts and mounts on all 4 corners.

that would fix the bouncing the car 3 times trick. becuase you can push down on that thing and have it come back up all day long lol. how much does parts + install usually run?

also ive noticed sometimes not all the time that when going over a speed bump it sounds like the front springs are squeaking but it happens randomly and not too often

keep it to one post at a time, keeps it clean.

There is no small way to fix this. Your struts are definatly done. Just listen to ASG, just fix all 4 corners, just dont forget to replace the mounts too.

You'll be happier and it will be more cost effective if you replace all four at one time.

I had a similar noise with my '97 with 106K miles. I just changed the sway bar bushings (Moog) and the sway bar end links (TRW) and that helped the noise a little ($120). Then while I was into it I just went ahead and changed the struts with the Monroe Quick Struts ( $200 each) which are a complete unit and took about 1 1/2 hours to do both. Doing both of these things has completely silenced the front end.
