98 Camry Rear Suspension - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

The rear suspension on my 98 camry is sagging, with someone in my backseat the car really sags. If you try the bounce test on the car you can go forever. I am not 100% sure but is it the strut/springs I was looking at Monroe Quick Struts for the rear would this fix it? and would i need to also do the front or can i leave that alone because i don't believe anything is wrong with them. and a quick question about the monroe quick struts. do they make the car handle better than oem and is there any ride difference?

and if i am correct are there any dyi pictures about the rear. like where the bolts are in the car body, would i need to remove back seat? thanks

i dont really have a ton of money to spend i am already paying out of the ass for the car

. how much would the trds go for and would you need to mount everything together then bolt it in? i just want something decent cheap and easy to install not looking to make this bad boy into a race car lol

that my friend, i do not know how much.. i bought mine off another member on here.. great deal too.. trd rear strut and springs 120...

try ebay.. either way you look at it im sure you will need springs too not just struts.. better to get both and be done with it.

the monroe quick strut is everything all in one just bolt on

?? - all regular struts are "bolt on" .. its when you have coilovers that u need to worry about height,dampening,etc.

i say live with the sag for now, and slowly piece together all 4 top mounts (since they're notorious for going bad around 100-110K) and also all 4 struts because it'll save you time, money and trouble if you get all of these done at once. Simply because when you take out the top mounts, the struts are just chillen there ready for swapping.

i meant without having to compress the spring and do all that kinda stuff. I looked up Monroe Quick Struts it comes with everything including the top mount so when i get some money i will probably attack my rear end

. if i have batteries in my camera ill prob do a dyi as i learn how to do it.
