3rd Generation

Yes they should.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE REPLACING THE WHOLE STRUT, not just the insert.

Ok, I would just like to confirm this before I purchase new shocks/struts. All four is what I'm replacing on my '95 camry 4cyl. I've found a set of '92-94s, will they fit???

I did a little research (a little bored I am, yes) and it looks like it depends on what brand you use. For instance, if you use Monroe Monromatic, it looks like you are covered on different models in many years (see http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/p...lon,-and-Camry towards the bottom of the page). However, it you use Bilstein, it looks like you are only covered on the Camry modle for a couple years (see http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/p...n-Toyota-Camry at the bottom of the page).

I highly recommend the Monroe Quickstrut. It is double the price (cheapest is found by entering Monroe part numbers 171955-171558 on Amazon). However, you get a lifetime warranty from Monroe and you can also get a $125 rebate from Mornoe. You get a brand new entire strut assembly. Just did it yesterday on my 1992 Camry--the same QuickStrut part# fits your 1995 Camry--and it took exactly one hour per strut.

Also, no matter what you choose to do, watch this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTSAongCAQM It tells you exactly how to get to the rear struts. Super easy!

Hope this helps.

Thank You so much!!! I was 90% sure it would fit because it's the same chassis from 92-96. Someone is selling a New full set of Monroe Sensatracs (blue) on craigslist for $150 which is cheap! o yeah, that youtube clip helped A LOT!!!

Sounds like a winner. Just be VERY CAREFUL when you take off the coil spring. I was talking to a couple of guys at Auto Zone and someone is suing them for damages. Turns out the customer used the spring coil compressor incorrectly, it came loose, and sliced them open to expose their jawbone. But other than that, have fun!! Hahahahah.
