·I'm just wondering how the older strut design on the camrys are suppose
to pivot with the steering knuckle without the strut bearing and upper
spring seat. As far as I understand it, the strut design was changed
in '94or '95. I think my wife's 93 V6 XLE has the older design. The
old design does not have the upper spring seat (plate) and a strut
bearing as far as I understand. The upper spring isolator on this
design is sort of an integrated strut bellows with a rubber pad that
separates the upper part of the spring from the strut stationary mount.
Does this rubber isolator move against the upper mount as the strut
and spring rotate with the sterring knuckle while turning? Or does the
spring rotate underneath this pad? And does this mean that this
design causes a lot of wear on this isolator and needs to be changed
when changing the strut mount as well?
