Just used this video to replace the rear strut/spring assembly on my '00 Solara SLE as I started to notice a really bad bounce accompanied by a lot of clunking and fluid leaking from the old struts. Not the easiest job in the world but by far not out of reach for most capable DIY'ers and now the clunky bouncy rear end is remedied. Thank you for the video!

[@hfamepham2094]

A lot of work for replacing rear struts it not easy I think I should bring my car to shop thanks for your video

[@FLINTmitten810]

Excellent video yall! I’m a fan of TRQ parts as well. Ordered them on a whim for a fraction of the cost of other brands YEARS ago now. Was extremely pleased with the quality and machining on the parts I bought. At least 5 years later & they’re still going strong. Good video/good job (to the mechanic)/and good job on part quality. 💯💪

[@Twiztidcl0wnz]

Used this video today to replace mine. Definitely worth mentioning without a transmission jack and air tools this isn’t an at home job or a one person job either. Ended up getting mine done with some help but great video stikl

[@scotthubinger9463]

Got it done thanks to this video! Wouldn’t have attempted it otherwise. Thank you very much. Quality production, good work!

Jesus Christ they couldn’t put the crown nuts in the trunk? I have the pair of struts but now it’s winter time. I think I’m gonna schedule an appointment somewhere hahaha.

Excellent video. Thank you for more gen 5 Toyota videos. Much appreciated.

[@alexlasers1358]

Dude be acting like I have a torque wrench it goes on until it no longer goes lol

[@reneg1366]

It's why I haven't replaced em on my 99! Amazingly they're not leaking and do OK over bumps, someday I'll have to tackle em though 😕

[@metal4bld]

This is crazy. Glad I watched this so I know I’d rather not deal with it

Thanks for your video

[@swaggerwagon468]

The audio at the start of the video is for replacement of the axle, fyi. Good video nonetheless.

[@hersonlamolli6162]

Thank you so much!

[@Healingworldshop]

Nice job!

[@BrunoB-jy4ju]

Gotta do em on my 99, now the slight tapping has turned into a knocking sound when I hit a bump on the road 🙄

[@TomMack530]

that not like the 1999 Toyota i am working on

[@rkzooplays]

helpful!

[@MBiggs-ez5cd]

So basically remove the whole interior in the back. No thanks

[@BenDover-lx1gh]

Why is there so much rust on this car

[@richcityrepresentative8805]

The weather condition I'm guessing. I live in California and have the same car and there's barely any rust on my car
