#31 of 109 Re: Replacing struts on a 1997 Camry [axford] by ray_h1 May 17, 2006 (8:43 am)
Replying to: axford (May 16, 2006 1:04 pm) Not only is strut replacement by an individual a time-consuming task that requires buying or renting specialized tools, it can be downright dangerous. An improperly clamped spring in the spring compressor can severely injure or kill if it unexpectedly pops out as you're working with it. Even if you're lucky enough to escape injury, the released spring can do severe damage to nearby structural parts.
#32 of 109 Sears Struts for 98 Camry by jsw999 Nov 14, 2005 (5:42 pm)
My 98 camry needs new struts and mounts. Dealer price is 1600 Sears is 1000. Has anyone had good luck with Sears Auto service? Replies to this message: chevymalibu (Nov 15, 2005 5:06 am)

Replying to: jsw999 (Nov 14, 2005 5:42 pm) I had two 94 camrys and traded in the first one but the second needed struts (right front bounced in the bounce test and was leaking fluid). Note: the front right and backs were fine but I had to change both fronts together. Went to midas and it cost about 350 bucks or so. What a difference. My point is the backs were fine (at least in the bounce test) and didn't get them done. Are your backs shot??? There isn't a load there like the front engine so I'm wondering if you're wasting money?? My mileage for the first camry was 196.5K and didn't need new struts. The one I changed it on was about high 190'sK or so. When I asked Cartalk.com message boars, they said sears was better than midas and to go there I believe.
#34 of 109 Toyota Camry Front Strut failure by conradn Mar 23, 2006 (8:14 am)
Recently we've seen several 1992-1996 Toyota Camrys where the front Gabriel strut has failed and gone up through the hood! Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas why? Thanks Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 24, 2006 8:55 am)

#36 of 109 03 SE Suspension by camrysev6owner Sep 16, 2006 (11:10 pm)
MY 03 SE SUSPENSION. I HAVE FOUND IT A LITTLE TOO STIFF FROM THE FIRST DAY I'VE GOT THE CAR. THE RIDE IS PERFECT WHEN THERE'S FULL LOAD IN THE CAR, BUT A BIT TOO BUMPY WHEN THERE'S ONLY A DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER. ANYONE ELSE FIND IT'S TO STIFF?   HAS ANYONE REPLACED THE SE SUSPENSION WITH THE XLE, OR LE BEFORE? I KNOW THE XLE VERSIONS HAVE A SOFTER RIDE.

Replying to: camrysev6owner (Sep 16, 2006 11:10 pm) Please turn off the ALL CAPS. Makes it hard to read.   It would probably be cheaper to get another (used) Camry at this point than replacing the suspension. The SE is designed to have a stiffer ride, so it sounds as though you should have gotten the LE or XLE originally.   If your car is in great condition, you shouldn't have any difficulty selling it since SE models are relatively rare.
#38 of 109 1999 Camry Strut Shroud Rattle by meatsteeple Sep 17, 2006 (6:35 pm)
Our 1999 Camry V6 has an annoying rattle from the plastic shroud cover over the front struts, at least that's what the local Toyota dealership tells me. They want $400 per to fix it. Funny thing is, I test drove a 1997 Avalon off of their lot that had the same rattle.   Anyone with experience with this and where I might find a lower fee to fix?   Thanks.

Replying to: meatsteeple (Sep 17, 2006 6:35 pm) Check out posts #20 and 21 in this forum. The price seems high; I'd get a second opinion.
#40 of 109 1998 toyota camry front struts by monty9 Sep 27, 2006 (12:03 pm)
I have a 98 Toyota Camry CE, every time I go over a rough surface it creaks pretty bad. Otherwise the steering handling is very smooth. The front struts were replaced about 10K miles earlier. Could anyone suggest what could be the problem? Replies to this message: ray_h1 (Sep 28, 2006 2:41 pm) monty9 (Sep 29, 2006 6:56 am)
