#71 of 108 Re: Suspension Question - Ned help/advice [bavula] by kiawah Apr 16, 2007 (5:06 am)
Replying to: bavula (Apr 16, 2007 1:36 am) When they "changed out the suspension" 2 years ago, exactly what did they do to it......what parts did they use, and what did they charge you?   Did they just replace the struts (kept original springs), or something more?   What tires did you put on the car, and what inflation pressure do you run in them?   Just to reset on expectations.....if you want a "smooth ride like a luxury car", you won't get it on 10 year old Camry with 100K+ miles....and you should be asking yourself whether any of these changes are a good financial decision to do. There are things you can do if parts wear out to make it better (for instance tires), but I'm not sure I'd be throwing a bunch of money at a 10 year old car to replace non-defective suspension parts. You'd probably be better off saving the money for a couple years, and use it toward your next replacement vehicle.
#72 of 108 Changing the torque strut mount by jacob690 Oct 01, 2007 (6:46 am)
How difficult is it to change the torque strut mount on my 98 Camry 4cyl? It looks pretty straight forward, but I'm not sure if the motor will move or shift once I remove the old strut. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks!

Replying to: ca0412 (Jan 08, 2008 12:43 pm) If you lowered more than 2", you'll need new struts, but be careful what you buy or you'll have a really bad ride. If you can afford them, Bilsteins are fabulous shocks. For decent entry level shocks you could try KYB. Koni makes a nice adjustable shock. I definitely wouldn't get too firm. You want compliance for street driving.   Visiting Host Replies to this message: ca0412 (Jan 14, 2008 1:03 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2008 3:07 pm)

Replying to: ca0412 (Jan 14, 2008 1:03 pm) Oh, okay, Did you check with TRD? Might give them a call and ask what's coming down the pipe.   http://www.trdracing.com/

#79 of 108 Loud squeching noises from rear of car by frezzr1 Nov 24, 2008 (2:29 pm)
Have a 98 Camry with 52,000 original miles on it. Have a loud squeching noice coming from rear of car (Mostly when weather turns cooler) when going over speed bumps or dips, holes in road, etc. This has been going on for about 4 years. Don't hear it when the weather is warm. Do not have any trouble with oddly worn tires and rear struts seem OK. Car handles great, no leaks, etc. Does this sound like a squeeking bushing problem?

Replying to: frezzr1 (Nov 24, 2008 2:29 pm) Personally....I'd be suspecting a strut was bad for a metal-to-metal sound.
