G'day, I have had this really annoying clunk on either side front end ever since the engine was changed. It can be quite random but turning into or out of a driveway, or some uneven loading turning into a street, you are sure to get it. One time, it really banged back through the steering...

As I attempt to put heated seats in my 2017 Corolla LE, I removed both round springs that power the recliner on my passenger seat. I don't think I needed to remove them in the first place, but thats why I'm doing the passenger first. I CANNOT compress these springs to save my life. I took...

Hey! So, exactly what I didn’t want to happen happened to me..I’m replacing the valve stem seals on my 2002 Camry 4cyl and when I was trying to put the valve spring retainer and keepers back on one of them fell and I have no clue where it went. I dragged a magnet around, drained the oil, and...

I've been reading around the forums for a bit, and I'm a bit confused when it comes to the AE82's shock fitments. I've heard that you can use AW11 rear shocks, is this true, and if so what springs should I then use. Would AE82 lowering springs be fine, or would I be better off getting 4 rear OEM...

Hello guys. Does any one know if those springs fits on my corolla 2010 or 10th Gen Those for Toyota tercel

Here's how to replace the strut or strut mount using spring compressors on a Toyota or Lexus with MacPherson strut front suspension. I made a short DIY video on the process: While quick-struts are available for these cars, not all of them are made to the same quality and specifications as the...

Just thought I'd share my short video on the basics of automotive suspension systems. Using my car as an example, I tore down each component and explained the difference between the two most popular types, double wishbone and MacPherson strut front suspension: Skip toward the end to watch the...

Here’s how a strut or shock absorber works in your car to dampen the ride. I took apart a strut and grinded it open to see the mechanics inside and made a short video on it: The spring is responsible for supporting the weight of the vehicle. It absorbs the majority of the...

I know this is a worn out subject, but each thread helps put more good information out there. I bought a 1999 Camry LE (3.0 V-6) from a friend with 89K original miles on it. Awesome car, but it is up there in age and the suspension has gone soft. I've been playing with cars close to 30yrs and...

For sale the original rear springs from a Toyota Camry 1997 Japan production 180,000 miles. They are in good condition. Black color. Original owner, car was always garage parked. Springs taken out of the car when lowering the car. They should fit all Camry's from 97 to 2001, but you should...

I've been dealing with this for years by using a battery to hold the lever up then using a key or credit card to open the door. The replacement part is between 5 to 15 at a dealer or shop, but you can fix it for basically free, using a small or medium Binder Clip. Some even come in all black, or...

I am planning on replacing the front struts on my Highlander using KYB struts. My question is, what other parts need to be replaced when I replace the struts? I am going to keep the current springs, but not sure how much of the other hardware (bearing plate and rubber components) need to be...

I replaced my 94 Camry's front strut springs. Do I need to do alignment? I am asking this because, as far as I could tell, none of the bolts/nuts I took off are adjustable. (that is, the holes that take in nuts are all tight fitting; not eccentric.) TIA

Hi. I am purchasing a set of struts from Advance Auto Parts this afternoon, and wanted to get any tips from y'all before I commence. I have a Haynes Manual as a reference for my 96 DX 1.8L Corolla. The Haynes manual cautions about safety when compressing springs, and a friend of mine also...
