i've got to buy new rear struts for my 2001 6 cyl camry. i have a hitch on it and i do quite a bit of hauling. so i'm looking for a strut that is a bit heavier duty to compensate for the weight of the trailer/boat. the engine has plenty of power and i'm towing under the rated weight. it just seems like the suspension wasn't designed with towing in mind. anyone have any experience with quickstruts?

Struts are not designed to carry load, the springs do the load carrying. Look for a quality strut for the control of the car, and look for a progressive weight spring. They are springs that the spacing between each winding gets farther apart as you get towards the bottom of the spring. The design helps with the squat of the back end of the car as it is weighted down

i had heard about the quickstruts and they are a great idea, and i want to buy them because mine are worn out. But even google can't find them for my 2002 V6. Does anyone know where they can be found?
