Thank you! I’m a 19 year old college student and was quoted over $1,000 dollars at a shop to replace rear struts/shocks on my 07 Camry because they told me you have to dismantle the back seat to get access to the shocks. I see what they mean but they wanted around $700 in labor costs, which seems really steep.

SIDE NOTE: If you have the XLE and have the recline-able rear seats you won't have those pieces on the sides. The top bolts are under the soft cloth covers between the top of the seat back and the rear shelf. Easy to access, but bolts still a pain.

@Stn_4 2 года назад

Excellent job done bro .... One Suggestion...... When you hammer bolts out of shock absorbers, you should put nuts on the top of bolts, so that hammering shouldn't damage the groves ... Hope i was able to explain and it was conveyed properly .. Thank You .

@brianwaskow5910 2 года назад

Put strut bolt nut back on the bolt a few threads and hammer on the nut so you don't damage the bolt threads.

@brianwaskow5910 2 года назад

Use a bottle jack to push the strut assemble up to push the three studs up into the car so you can get the three nuts started.

@brianwaskow5910 2 года назад

If you are replacing the strut assemble, replace the sway bar link and the antisway bar bushings.

@timshoppa0 Год назад

Nice to see setting realistic expectations for that dang OEM sway bar link hex socket. I am very impressed with the factory tapered bolts through Toyota knuckles; unlike their straight predecessors, these will not rust and seize into the knuckle.

I have an 08 XLE and I cannot get the new rear right strut assembly to fit. I compared everything, and it all looks identical. The problem is the two lower mounting bolts. I cannot get the knuckle to line up to the top hole to thread the bolt through, the bottom bolt reinstalls easily.

@ramosatt1993 6 лет назад

If you are going to replace the sway bar do you need to remove that first bolt that holds the sway bar to the strut? Can you just remove the lower one of the sway bar? Then you only need to remove one of those sway bar nuts and toss the sway bar attached with the strut to garbage?

@sclawrenc 2 года назад

Does it matter if you fully tighten the top nuts on the strut when the car is on the ground vs suspended on a lift or jack? I see some people say you should lower the car and then tighten the top nuts is why I'm asking. Thanks for your awesome videos!!

@LeonSKennedysHoe 2 года назад

How is the quality of the strut? is this OEM? Since the price is significantly lower than what dealer suggests

@bonerattler6493 Год назад

About to put coilovers in my car and didn't know how to get to the back thanks alot

@sanjeevgoswami1 5 лет назад

Kind of funny he did the front struts and he goes use 66 lb/ft of torque on the top nuts guess what I snapped one right off all that work for nothing and had to wait for replacement. I called Toyota they didn't really want to tell me so I went there and had the guy look it up on his computer and Low and behold Toyota spec for front struts is 29 ft/lb 155 ft/lb for the lower 2 bolts. And 55ft/lbs for the front stabilizer links I used MOOG more beefy than original Toyota links and they have a nut on the back it's a breeze to install them. On the rears the lower bolt doesn't come out you can't just tap it because its head goes straight in the brake caliper I had to remove the top bolt on the caliper and seeing it out of the way.

RepIaced both struts on my 07 Camry. When I test drove it the left front clunks when I go over any bump. Rechecked and retorqued all. I appears the the strut was not set correctly from the factory. If I push on the left front of the car I can see play where it comes through the wheel well and can hear it also. There is a distinct difference in the amount of thread showing between the left and right. Is it possible to adjust these on the car?

@@1AAuto I know the part fits, but the hybrid battery is in the back seat area. I don't know if I can access the 3 upper bolts to the strut without being in danger of electrocution from the orange high-voltage wires / battery. Also, do I need to disconnect anything electrical. I ran into an electrical sh@#t storm just bleeding brakes.

@nyw1089 3 года назад

Hey yeah, nice video but I have to critique it: you most likely will need to remove the rear sway bar (unbolt it and drop it) for the control arms to flex enough to get the new strut in and bolted. This was on an 07 V6 Camry - 4cyl models may differ. Also, cars with reclining rear seats (V6 XLE's) are difficult to fit a tq wrench in for the top 3 nuts....AND you may want to leave the back seats out when your done, lower the car with wheels back on, THEN re torque those top 3 nuts with all the weight of the car on the strut now...thanks

@edag9609 Год назад

Really wish your guys' stuff was a bit cheaper to show support for your videos. Bought my 07 manual transmission Camry 2 years ago. Doing this project now but man, it's become a 2 day project. So much trash underneath that backseat 😂 Thanks so much 1Auto.

@donnguyen4100 Год назад

U removed top sway bar wrong. It has huge pressure downward. You need to jack up control arm 2 inches or so to relieve pressure, simultaneously support drum with jack or another jack to prevent ripping control socket downward too far.

@caramellohoney 3 года назад

I took my camry 2009 to the mechanics told them to fix all suspension that needs fixing. They fixed 1 or 2 things said my car was ready to be picked up. Then told me that the Rear Right Hand Strut will need to be replaced in about 3 or 4months time because its making a slight noise. I think they missed this, and this was the main noise I wanted solved. It so obvious when driving. I know it's making more then just a slight noise. Its a horrible hard knocking when on bumpy highway and roads. I've travelled in it they only took 4 a test drive on small my local town street. Its wasting my money and time when they can't do what I ask. The drive is pulling when braking, wobbling and all I hear is a whole lot of noise from that side and when your a passenger on that side it's awful. The car just got new tyres, by 3 or 4 time ill have wearing. Since now I found this video I am defiantly going to attempt this myself. Thanks so much for this simple video.
