Camry struts-which to buy?

[sex_&_TRD87]

Hey guys

I tried searching for a thread about struts but most what I found were about coilovers

I just reached 70k on my 07 Camry and the Toyota tecknician and the tech at NTB where I get my alignment done, said that my struts are leaking

when I checked them out at school (I am in a automotive tech program) I had my teacher check it out to show me what they're talking about and he says that he doesnt see anything leaking but then again our struts are suppose to leak a bit but since Im already at 70k its part of my maint schedule to replace them at 50-60k

im still debating if I should go ahead and replace mine or not but if so, does anybody have any suggestions on which product? OEM or aftermarket? cause I dont really know anything about struts, i know how they work n what not but product wise, no clue

my teacher told me to check out MONROE, they're really good but i went online and saw that they only make up to 2006 = /

OEM just about $120 a piece


thanks for ur inputs =]

KYB are good. They come stock with SE.

Camry.

There aren't a lot of choices for the 07. For typical driving also check out Gabriel Ultra, 2003 Popular Mechanics Editor Choice Award. See their video:

Autozone has them buy-3-get-1-free sometimes. Lifetime warranty. Not sure if that covers wear and tear or just manufacturing defect.
