1 a auto stands behind their parts. I had got a dud front strut assembly for my 05 corolla from 1aaauto but I live in Canada and returning the parts would have been pretty expensive for me. The guy on the phone was remarkably reasonable and after providing some evidence of how the part failed they refunded the cost of the parts. Simply put, I will continue to by parts from them! They also have the most straight forward parts replacement videos on the internet! Awesome company!

Excellent help for changing Strut assemblies in the front of a 1997 Camry.

[@lucidbarrier]

I did this today on a friend's Camry. This video was really helpful. I cheated and used an electric impact for the smaller bolts and a pneumatic impact for the big bolts. Lining the bolts up at the top of the assembly helps when you tilt it at an angle to get one of the bolts through the strut tower, then tilt it back flat so that the other bolts poke through as well. A (rubber) mallet is a must for the large spindle bolts for persuasion. The vice grips did help a ton with the sway bar link. Thanks a bunch!

Do you know if coilovers would provide more body height for a 99 Camry 2.2L? I have a steep angle at the end of my driveway that even with new strut assemblies all around, it still scrapes the bottom of my car slightly, so I just need an extra 1/4" of body height.

Great video! But just a word of warning about the stabilizer bar link - often it will not come off so easily and you will have to cut it off. So you might want to have extra links on hand in that event. This is usually the case in places where there is a lot of road salt that caused corrosion.

@1a when I do rear struts I don’t tighten the nuts in the mount until I lower the car Why is it different for the front ?

when putting the new sway bar link on and you notice the sway bar is LONGER where it attaches on the STRUT and it doesnt align into the hole in the strut what can you do in that situation to cover the extra space to align the link with the strut. do you push the wheel hub towards the ground?

What is that metal bracket hooked with the screw to your Fender well.

[@anonymike8280]

One hint. A 13/16 socket might replace a 22mm socket, and I just checked that it fits on this vehicle. A 7/8 definitely will. My oddball 12 volt impact driver set came with a 13/16 impact socket. Otherwise, I have put away (just recently) all of my SAE (inch) tool except for the square drives (1/4 & 3/8). Generally, with the larger sizes, there are always adequate equivalents between metric and SAE, if you have your old tools. Smaller sizes, generally not. But 8mm and 5/16 are equivalent. If you have a collection of SAE tools, what is most important to get is smaller size combination wrenches, sockets and allen wrenches. You can spend a lot or a little on these. If you do work only rarely, the stuff from that national discount tool chain will be adequate. If you intend to do a lot of work, you might need the better stuff. The home improvement chains sometimes sell brand name sets at low prices. But some discount sets contain tools which are just not adequate. Don't talk tools, or Santa Claus might bring you a nice shiny set of inferior tools which you will have to quietly exchange.

It could be a number of things. Check the lower ball joint, the sway bar link, the lower control arm, the control arm bushing, and the inner/outer tire rod.

What size are the bolts that have the 22mm nuts?

[@1AAuto]

+cjohns024 It would be the bottom strut bolts. If any of our viewers needs to replace their struts we carry the ones shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them. goo.gl/ZfA2RV

Who make the parts? How are those struts after a few years?

[@NonStopJames1]

Those tires are for snow right? def. not normal street tires

[@1AAuto]

+James Blansett Yes, those are snow tires. With these light cars up here in New England it is really nice to have a set! If anybody is interested in purchasing these struts please click the link: www.1aauto.com/toyota-camry-solara-strut-monroe-171678/i/mnsts00019?KZbin&CTA+Comment&UG0vuPM

You need torque to remove the sway bar.you need to explain tha one too.

[@philipwang4600]

Is alignment required after replacement?

[@MasterZensei]

Typically yes

These videos could be improved by eliminating the crappy background music. Otherwise, great!

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for checking us out! No, the procedure should be the same for both the 4 Cylinder and V6. Hope this helps you out! +daniel cote
