2003 Toyota Camry - Rear Strut Replacement (Suspension)

[@KyleRichards-z3m]

Perfect video, exactly the kind of content I'm looking for. I hate when you have to listen to Somebody talk for 15 minutes about going to the parts store and God knows what else before they get to actually doing the repair. Good job sir

Any update on how these lasted? Ride quality? Any brand recommation? Excellent video.. Thank you!!

[@InsaneOil]

So far so good. The previous ones were pretty bad so it is a definite improvement. I went with Detroit Axle (link to the part in the video description) although I don't have a brand preference.

@@InsaneOil My rear struts have never been replaced. I have a 2005 Camry with 270,000 miles on it. The fronts were replaced last year, but every bump makes me feel like the car will fall apart. My old rear struts look the same as in your video. Do you think replacing the struts will fix the problem of shaking on bumps?

[@InsaneOil]

@@George-mk7lp I would recommend replacing the following: Rear Struts (this video), Rear Stabilizer Bar Bushings (bushings only, the original bar is probably fine) ua-cam.com/video/TdL6V_tSZmY/v-deo.html, and Rear Sway Bar Links ua-cam.com/video/29vLRCrMAqQ/v-deo.html

Do you have any recommendations for conversion from rear drum to rear disc brakes?

[@InsaneOil]

I don't. My strength is replacing stock components with aftermarket stock components.

Could be failing struts.

Day 1… i broke the break hose. Currently dealing with the 19 bolts that are rusted to the strut 😊

[@InsaneOil]

@@FuadGlobal Any success thus far?

[@sniffles8655]

I had to use a crow bar to pop the seat loose. Those suckers were tight!

[@InsaneOil]

Doesn't surprise me for being 20 years old. I lubed it up pretty good to help with the removal process.

[@sniffles8655]

@@InsaneOil I know what you mean. Thank you though for this video, it helped me so so so much! You are amazing!

2 comments - Sway bars links are cheap - why not just replace them at the same time, then you are 100% done with anything that can really fail there Also the bolts that are used for the bottom of the strut, , I thought at least one was a Cam adjustment bolt so you can dial in the camber when you have an alignment done? - the toe is adjusted by those trailing arms links as I recall ... I'd actually do those too, but not needed if they are not seized and you don't need an alignment.

[@InsaneOil]

I agree that sway bar links are cheap and can be replaced at the same time. In the series of videos for this vehicle, I did just this, but filmed them as two separate videos. ua-cam.com/video/29vLRCrMAqQ/v-deo.html As far as the alignment/adjustment, I replaced pretty much all of the suspension component at the same time and then took it in for an alignment.
