[@mastertee6292]

As per the factory service manual: 19mm Nuts 188ft/lbs if using a new nut, 145 ft/lbs if re-using old nut. 17mm Stabilizer link nuts 29 ft/lbs. Top strut nuts 29 ft/lbs (moot point since you can't fit a torque wrench in there if you don't remove the seat belt tensioners). Hope this helps.

[@jamminydodger7443]

Just did mine. Only took 8 hours! Add to the tool list a sawzall, 3 extra blades, a 1/2 ratchet extender, another 1/2 19 mm socket to replace the 3/8 socket that ends up snapping a 3/8 to 1/2 converter, a hack saw to shorten the 2” lugs on my replacement strut (not 1a auto strut) that are near impossible to tighten, a drill to get the last of the sawed off nut off the link bar , the patience of Job, and a good chiropractor after all is done. This is a great video, but when dealing with a near 20 year old car that is bathed in salt each year, things don’t always go so great. But all done for about $150!

+Jodger the Dodger Thank you! We're sorry you had a bit of a rough start but are happy our video could assist you.

[@andrewvanatta1569]

To anyone watching this, do yourself a favor and buy a deep 12mm socket if you don't have one. Toyota designed the sheet metal around the upper bolts in such a way that a box wrench will slip off the nuts if you use one.

[@1AAuto]

+Andrew Van Atta Thanks for the feedback!

[@distractedmonkeydesign]

Thank you so much for the video! It gave me the confidence to do this job on my daughter's 1997 Toyota Camry and the instructions were nearly flawless. I saved a bunch of money. A couple comments: at 6:44 it says to torque the main nut to 83 ft*lbs, however the manual says to use 145 ft*lbs for a reused nut and 188 ft*lbs for a new nut. Initially I used 83 ft*lbs as described in the video and had some slight noise from the rear end when going over speed bumps etc, so I checked for the proper torques online and then retightened to 145 ft*lbs and have no noise. Again thanks for the great video!

Charles Bechtel I’m also hearing clumping noises on my 98 Camry after the replacement. I did torque it to the specific foot pound. Before, my old struts didn’t make such horrible clumping sound compared to this strut from 1a auto. However, with these new struts installed, I’m starting to hear bad clumping....could it be the strut is defected prior to the manufacturing?

Thank you for the video. It really equipped me to have confidence to get these changed out today. My 16 year old and I did it to his first car. Only 35K miles from a little old lady at an estate sale. The hardest part for us was getting the bottom nut on the knuckle off due to the bars that were underneath and how they were in the way of the breaker bar. Putting them back was the same problem. These took longer than the front ones. All of them took us about 5 hours from set up to clean up.

[@davidball3081]

You do not have to remove lower seat cushion. You can easily reach the 12mm bolt with extension between the seats.

Fantastic video. Well explained, step by step instructions make this job a cinch. Thank you 1A AUTO

[@Doomzdayxx]

Another TIP: If you plan on reusing the stabilizer bar, and the nut has never been removed in 20+ years, and you live in the rust belt, skip the rust penetrant completely, it's pointless. You will need to heat that fucking nut until it's cherry red. The small needle nose vice grips do work well. Also, if the previously mentioned criteria are the same, also CAREFULLY heat up the bolts for the ABS sensor and the brake hose. I am lucky enough to have an induction heater. I found that heating the entire length of the bolt (which you can do, given the design) just before it starts turning red is good enough. Work it out slowly and steadily. I learned this the hard way after breaking the abs sensor bolt (which btw is a 6mm x 1.0 thread). Again, the rust penetrant was completely useless. Heat is by far the best. Good video, fellas.

[@jmitch6764]

After 21 years in the Northeast, mostly right on the coast, subject to winter road salt as well as the salt zone by the coast, the rear struts rotted and collapsed. During the event, one collapsed as I hit a medium pothole and caused the car to fishtail hard and then the other collapsed as a result of the fishtail.

Do you put both rear tires on jack stands or work one side at a time when doing rear strut replacements? Would I need to lower the vehicle after getting each side done in order to tighten the top 3 bolts at the top? or do I just get both rear struts done and tighten both of them down at the end ?

[@mattr3632]

Be sure to order the correct struts. I went cheap, and got struts that raised the rear of the car almost 2" above normal ride height. It solved the problem of the rear end bouncing excessively, and squatting and raising up when accelerating and braking, but it looks pretty strange and I had to adjust the headlights. I believe the correct struts are described as "OEM ride quality".

[@1AAuto]

+Matt R Thanks for the reply! The struts we carry are made to OEM spec. They will have new springs on them and will return the vehicle to the factory ride height which is usually higher than where the vehicle was sitting on the old, sagging springs. This will be much more noticeable if only the fronts or rears are changed. They will seem higher compared to the other end of the vehicle. It's usually best to change all 4 springs at the same time when possible. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

Does it matter if I slide those 2 strut bolts the opposite direction or does the the nut need to be on the left side? I was thinking about putting the nut thru the opposite of where my caliper and brake lines are at so I can torque them down without having to remove the caliper and messing up the brake line.

[@tonytaylor1277]

Installed new rear struts. Went together like cake. But car is sitting to high in the rear. Maybe two inches two high. Is this adjustable. Car looks silly.

[@rairadrai]

Get lowering springs but have a shop remove the springs with a spring removal tool. That’s why I don’t like getting these quick struts. It increases the ride height and makes the car look goofy.

[@MoodAmbience23]

Thank you for all the details. Really helpful. Does anyone know if if this particular car needs alignment after the strut assembly replacement?

Definitely!! I replaced the Front Struts on my 2000 toyota avalon using 1aauto struts and I felt the car pulled to the right bit when I drove it wasn't bad but it annoyed the hell out of me. Thats when I ordered my rear struts so I can do the alignment right after installation

I just did this repair last night. Those 3 nuts on top are super difficult to remove! Especially if you don’t have the right tools. And if you have disc brakes and not drum brakes, it’s MUCH harder to remove the assembly from the wheel well. Also. He said 83 ft-lbs, I have a Haynes manual for the car and it requires 145 ft lbs for reused nuts and bolts.that might be because I have disc brakes, or they misread the instructions🤷‍♂️.

[@registereddino1922]

there is no way to loosen or tighten the nuts on the strut towers without removing the seatbelts. I don't know why your vehicle has shorter studs. My installation required deepsockets, which required the seatbelt bolts to be taken out.

[@distractedmonkeydesign]

My replacement struts had longer bolts as well but I just used a 12-point closed-end 12mm wrench (pretty standard tool) on the one located under the seat belt bracket. Yes it was tedious but it worked.

[@steveforbes7718]

I really wish to commend your company for making excellent videos. They are a real life saver for most people with little to no practical mechanical experience. However, this time, I must disagree with your claim that the springs used are the same as the original factory springs. I have tired many aftermarket assemblies, including yours. Not one of them has the same compression rate as the factory springs. I have discovered this is a common complaint on all of the related forums. The vendors/manufacturers range from KYB to Monroe to Charlie Chan to Joe Bubbasqueegie made assemblies. Every single one changes the ride to that of a buckboard because the springs are too strong. This can be caused by a larger diameter spring material, one less coil (as seen in this video) or, a combination of both. With this particular car there are only two choices to regain the original ride quality. The first choice is a factory original complete assembly. The second is to replace just the strut cartridge itself with a factory original one. I am now doing the latter with a factory cartridge for about the same price as 1A. They were in stock at the local dealer so, no waiting or shipping required. Plus, on the long shot that there were to be any problem, I can deal with them in person immediately. FWIW

I have a question here. The factory original struts on my 2001 Camry have a metal part on top which also is visible on the original strut. The aftermarket struts I got (Monroe Quick Strut) does not have this part. Does this part (I think it is called a strut mount) need to be switched over? I have not seen that done on any video, yours or anyone else's.

[@1AAuto]

+Anonymike Thanks for watching! Designs can vary between manufacturers, so it could just be a piece that does not need to be swapped over. We would not be able to confirm this in your case since we cannot see it, so you might want to confirm this with a reputable garage first.

[@anonymike8280]

@@1AAuto In this video right here, the old one has the metal mount on to, the new one apparently doesn't. The difference would be, the metal part would be in contact with the sheet metal in the old design. In the new one, it would be the rubber or whatever the material is. In both cases the thickness appears to be the same. Monroe has a technical contact form for mechanics and customers. I posed the question to them. I'll see what they say but they sell the Quick-Strut line as complete and ready to install, so I don't seen why a part would need to be switched over. Quick-Strut is their upline. Roadmatic is their base model.

+Quinton Frison If your car has the 3.0 in it, it should be the same or a similar procedure. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

How come people tell me some shocks should be done in the shop because they're pressurized? Does that include the camry?

[@1AAuto]

+Pat W If you follow this video you should be fine. We also carry the struts shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them. www.1aauto.com/toyota-camry-solara-strut-monroe-171680/i/mnsts00021?KZbin&CTA+Comment&KTKc

Question, how do you change the mudflaps on a 2000 Toyota Camry? Do you have a video for that? Please let me know....

[@1AAuto]

+Tyrese L. Powell Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this in mind for future repairs. www.1AAuto.com?KZbin&CTA%20Comment& 866-403-3393

Tyrese, it should be pretty easy. Just a few clips you have to break loose. from the fender wells.

1A Auto Parts yes please do I need to know how

[@user-vn1di4oq4w]

The locking pliers didnt work...maybe something is broken...it just keeps spinning

You need to fix this video before you kill somebody the lower bolts on the strut are supposed to be 145 foot pounds if using using the old bolt or 188 foot pounds if using new bolts I just confirmed this information from the Toyota dealership service department

+jrein59 Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

Thanks for posting this, I was worried about the torque spec for the rear struts thank you 🙏

[@Darklighter43]

I can't afford the strut spring combo so if I just replace the rear struts on my car will that be okay? Thanks

[@1AAuto]

+Waylander If your springs are in good shape it should be fine.

[@Darklighter43]

1A Auto Parts Cool. Thanks.
