Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to be working with our 1998 Toyota Camry. We're going to show you how to remove and replace the rear strut assembly, which means that our new part from 1A Auto is going to come with a new strut, a new spring and a new strut mount. What happens is, over time, these wear out and sag or become soft, which can cause our vehicle to ride lower than it's designed to. We can get a softer ride or a harsher ride. We can have poor handling, some noises in the back like some clunking over bumps, as well as having some suspension and alignment issues, which can cause odd tire wear patterns.
Fortunately, this new part is much easier and safer to replace than the old-style struts. If you like this video, please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this car as well as many other makes and models. If you want this part for your vehicle, you can follow the link down in the description and get it from 1AAuto.com. Here are there items you'll need for this repair.
Grab onto the hub cap and remove it from the wheel. We're going to use a 21 mm socket and breaker bar to remove all five lug nuts. We'll crack them loose now, raise and support the vehicle, and then finish removing the lugs. We've put our vehicle on a lift to make it easier to film for you, but this job can be easily done with a jack and jack stands. Remove the wheel and tire.
Remove the 12 millimeter bolt, holding the brake line in place and the 10 millimeter bolt, holding the ABS sensor in place. We use a 12 millimeter socket for the brake line and a 10 millimeter socket for the ABS sensor. We'll remove both of these things. Be careful of the brake line and the sensor. We'll remove them from the strut.
Place a pair of locking pliers around the back side of the sway bar. Use a 14 millimeter socket and ratchet to remove the nut on the other side. Remove the sway bar link and the locking pliers. Remove the two 19-millimeter bolts, securing the bottom of the strut to the spindle with a breaker bar, 19 millimeter socket, and a wrench. You may need to use a cheater pipe on the breaker bar to get the leverage you need to break the nut loose. Once it's loose, we can remove the rest with a socket, ratchet and a wrench. Remove the nut and bolt, lift up on the spindle, and remove the nut. Remove the spindle from the bottom of the strut.
Find the anchor points under the seat and lift up firmly. Push the seatbelt buckles through the holes in the base of the seat cushion and remove it from the vehicle.
Using a 12 millimeter socket and ratchet, we'll remove the bottom bolt on the sides of the seat bolsters on both sides of the vehicle. We'll use a 12 millimeter socket and ratchet. Fold the seat back in. Pull some slack onto the seatbelt and push the bolster up to remove it. Again, we'll repeat this step on the opposite side.
We'll move the seatbelt out of the way. We'll wrap it around the headrest here just to give us some room to work, fold up this sound-deadening and remove these three 12 millimeter bolts with a socket and ratchet. When doing this on the ground, we'll support the strut and finish removing the last nut on our strut mount inside the vehicle. Once the nut has been removed, hold the strut and remove it from the vehicle.
Here we have our old strut that we removed from our Camry and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these parts are exactly the same with the same mounting locations for the sway bar link, the ABS sensor and the flexible brake hose. They have the same size spring as well as the same size strut tube here. These parts are directional. You can see that these are the right side. The left would be a mirror image of what we see here. These new quick struts are already assembled with a new spring and a new strut mount, meaning that it's going to eliminate any strut-related noises we're hearing and restore our vehicle to it's factory ride height and original ride quality. These parts are simpler to install and eliminate the headache and hassle as well as the need for special tools like the old struts did where they would be replaced as a single piece as opposed to an entire assembly. If your struts are making noise, bouncing, aren't sitting at the proper ride height, or are causing you alignment issues, these new parts from 1A Auto are going to go in direct fit just like your original equipment and fix you up right.
Our new quick strut assembly comes with some new hardware. This hardware is 13 millimeters so the 12 millimeters we used to remove the nuts on the top of the strut mount inside the vehicle will now be reinstalled with a 13 millimeter socket and ratchet.
Insert the quick strut back into the strut tower in the rear of the vehicle. Line up the studs with the holes at the top. Once you have it lined up, push up and start a nut onto the strut mount to keep it in place. Lift up and realign the spindle into the base of the strut. Send your 19 millimeter bolts through and start the 19 millimeter nuts. Tighten the bolts down with a socket and ratchet. Torque these bolts to 83 foot-pounds.
Reinstall the ABS sensor bracket and the 10 millimeter bolt. Tighten that down with a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Carefully bend the brake hose back into place. Reinstall the 12 millimeter bolt and tighten that down with a 12 millimeter socket and ratchet. Reinstall the sway bar link into the strut. Start the 14 millimeter nut. Clamp onto the backside of the link with your locking pliers and tighten the nut with a 14 millimeter socket and ratchet.
Reinstall the wheel and tire. Get all the lug nuts down as tight as you can by hand. Lower the vehicle carefully back onto the wheel and tire. Since we've started the nuts on our strut mount, this will push the strut fully into its position and make it easier for us to tighten down the nuts at the top. Torque the lug nuts to 76 foot-pounds in a cross pattern. Line up the notch in the hubcap over the valve stem, and tap the hubcap back into place.
We'll tighten down the nuts at the top of the strut mount. Remember the new ones are 13 millimeter. We'll use a 13 millimeter socket and ratchet. This spot can be pretty tight so if you have access to gear wrenches, stubby wrenches, a short ratchet, extensions, U-joints, anything like that, do whatever you can to make it work and make these easier to access.
This slot here is where we're going to install this plastic tab on the back of the side backrest. Push in and down. Grab the back of the backrest and pull toward you to make sure it's locked into place. Now we'll reinstall our 12 millimeter bolt at the bottom. Reinstall the bottom seat cushion. Once you've got it laid into place, you'll have to reach through and pull the bottom of the belt buckles back in. There are two on the passenger side and one on the driver's. Slide the back of the seat into place. Line up the brackets and knock them in at the front and you're good to go

After doing several sets of struts for friends, I knew I would need the stabilizer links, because I ended up cutting those off more often than not, so to get them included was perfect. My car was floating the back end on the snow, losing control every time I hit a bump, so I threw these on and all of my problems went away. Install was quick and easy, I love not having to change springs over.
Great Price, Fast Shipping, Everything Fit

Replace original struts with these and the car rides tons better (as expected replacing 20 year old struts). Great price. Hoping they will last a few years.
Very satisfied

I am pleased of my purchase from 1AAuto. The parts fit perfectly and have my car feeling so much better. With being at a reasonable price, the bundles they had and tutorial videos. It made the job so much easier. Took me no more than 3.5 hours to do the complete job. Granted, it would have been shorter if my original parts werent so old lol. Thanks again and will definitely be shopping here for car parts again.
Great service

This was my first purchase from 1AAuto. Parts arrived quickly and everything fit perfectly! Install was straightforward (1AAuto's video was very helpful) and the ride is vastly improved (I also replaced the front and rear sway bar bushings). It's been 4+ months and no issues whatsoever. I was hoping the springs would settle in a little, but the car definitely sits slightly higher than with the factory springs (I checked pictures in the 2001 Camry brochure). From what I've read, that's typical of all aftermarket strut assemblies, so can't take points (or stars) off for that. Now I just have to replace the trailing arm bushings and it'll ride like new!

It provides only the equipment shown and is for the price listed an excellent deal. It is currently installed on my 2000 Camry and now rides like new, they also corrected a long standing alignment issue.

The only bolts you reuse are the 2 lower bolts on the struts with the cam adjusters for your alignment

They come with the 3 top nuts on each strut, and new nuts on the links, however I like the stock hardware better, as the stock nuts have essentially large built in washers, which allow you to reach them in the tight spaces for the back struts.
