Hi, I'm new to this board and I need help to replace the rear struts for my 95 corolla. I have replaced shocks on many hondas but not corollas. Any website that you guys would recommend on how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

So you did lots of Hondas but no Toyotas.. hmmm.. its not like you're going from a Honda to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.. so it should be pretty much straight forward... If you say you have replaced struts before, did you do it yourself?? If so.. where the hell did you buy your parts from that time???

chances are they carry replacement struts for Corollas too. You can get KYB, Tokico, and even Koni struts for Corollas.. so the shop you bought your Honda stuff from before should carry the Toyota stuff too.

I got the stuff (kyb gr2) and tried to install it this morning. It is very similar to hondas but i just can't figure out how to take off the rear armrest so that I can have access to take out the three nuts that is holding the upper part of the strut assembly.
