struts

Can I get by with just replacing the struts on my 98 Camry or would it be better to replace both the front and back struts at the same time?

Usually you should replace at least one axle at a time. However, if you take it to a dealer under warranty, they'll only replace one. But will insist selling you two if you have to pay. I wonder why?

Just about all aftermarket struts come with lifetime warranty. If you add up mounts and rubber boot, strut bumper, and spring seats then consider the cost of a Monroe QuickStrut.

Whats that?

I need to replace my rear struts but I'm not entirely sure what is involved.

Too bad Monroe sucks. I don't care how cheap they are.

Get KYB-GR2's instead if you want better quality.
