strut

04 Camry XLE 3.0L This wasn't an issue before I replaced my strut assembly. Leads me to believe I made a mistake during the installation of new struts. When I removed the steering knuckle, I think the outer CV joint popped out of the driveshaft. I can't see inside the CV Boot, but I can kinda...

I live in a rural area and sometimes drive on gravel roads. My suspension is shot and I need parts that will last. Not cheap Chinese garbage. LOL

I changed out my original front struts at 211,000 miles. Is there a Wrong way to install them other than upside down? Do they have to be rotated a certain way so the three top bolts and plate sit a certain way? The reason I replaced my original struts was due to a grinding noise in the...

Recently I have installed a new Monroe strut on my 2003 Camry 2.4L LE. Mount plate , bearing , sprint coil , bushing all in good shape. I hear clunking noise when I hit bump. So I had to take it apart to figure out what is making this clunking noise. I did not take any picture before I took it...

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...

Hi, y'all! After lurking in this forum on and off for a couple of years for basic tuneup tips, I finally decided to become a serious DIYer. In fact, I jumped in with both feet at a diesel mechanic friend's encouragement. What started out as simple installation of 4 Monroe Economatic complete...

Hey all, I am currently torn between two different sets of front struts. I'll post a link to the front-right of each version. I'm looking for users who have had to have these replaced on their 2003 Camry 2.4 l Monroe KYB It's also noteworthy that the Monroe's are readily available and more...

Hi, I went into a shop today and got my corolla checked out and they said that its shock absorbers and struts should be replaced because the oils were leaking and they told me the total estimate of my cost (parts+labors) are about 1300 dollars. I thought that if I could buy the parts from other...

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...

I'm not a mechanic so forgive and please correct the poor terminology. I've got two struts going bad and only because the rubber bushings at the bottom of the strut are ripping apart. My mechanic here in Belize realized that the rear leaf spring bushing of a Hilux is a near exact fit for the...
