I needed to know which way to turn the bolts on the driver's side and it wasn't in the video.
Thanks 1A Auto, you saved me over $900 parts & labor, Pep Boys wanted over $1,100 parts & labor for both front struts & claimed it would take over 2 hours, I did both sides in less than an hour using a floor jack. Now I'm off to get a $50 alignment.
The stud coming out of the (OEM) upper sway bar link has a 5 mm hex socket that you can use to keep it from turning while you remove the nut. It's easy to miss!
I’m getting ready to change front struts on my 08 Camry. I’ve heard ( when changing struts in general ) the weight of the vehicle should be on the wheel or a floor Jack before torquing the three top nuts to avoid possible damage to the strut bearings. Is this not the case with the Camry?
Great video on an easy repair. I deem one easy if half the car doesn't need dissembling to reach the replaced part. This one truly is simply nuts bolts some taps and one valuable video. Well done!
+Mizera Mykle Thanks for checking us out. 1AAuto.com
Thank you so much for having so many repair videos. I really appreciate them. About to pay a little more to buy parts from you (1A Auto,) because you have these helpful videos.
+Kirk Cabral Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to our reviews section. Have a great day! goo.gl/i5JFNY
Don't buy these struts. I've installed these quick struts on my '02 Lexus and the ride quality is terrible. I had a much better ride with the original 20 year old struts. I would suggest kyb or Monroe.
good job! i thumbed it, how good are 1a auto parts compared to well liked parts marker rockauto, same maker? thanks!
What gloves are those? They look rugged for automotive work
1A auto mechanic: torque those upper nuts when vehicle is on the ground.
Why
very nice! Procedure is similar to the previous generation Camry
Do we need to worry about the camber adjustment after replacing the struts?
Thank you for show us how to replace everything’s in the car
Do you need a wheel alignment after changing JUST the struts?
+Michael Nance Yes you will want to have a front end alignment performed after this repair!
@@1AAuto Thanks!
Bro doesn’t believe in impacts
8:58 Is 63 ft lbs of torque for those 3 nuts the standard for all cars or does it vary?
+RKGSD This number will vary depending on the vehicle.
Will the same 07-11 camry struts fit all trims (base, le, se, xle) ?
In other words, if a pair of kyb plus struts fit an '09 Camry LE, is there any reason why those same struts wouldn't work/fit an '09 Camry SE (assuming same engine size, no mods, etc; only different trim)? Thank you.
So. Replacement struts and bars for the front are more solid than the original??
My '09 seems fairly stable. Yet there is that sway to it.
I’m curious what the torque spec for a 2019 Camry SE is ? I was told 37ftlbs for the strut mount to body nuts
Should the tire be on and the car on the ground before fully tightening the 3 upper mount nuts?
Thanks for the video - it is always helpful to see the exact operation and pointers. A couple of questions I have though. Who manufactures these struts you sell from A1?
Operationally, It just really appears from reading numerous posts where the Sway bar links are original or have been on the vehicle for some time - to me it seems that I should just plan on cutting the sway bar link off from the get go... (2009 Toyota camry LE with one original sway bar and one that was replaced 2 years ago) In this case I am thinking just go directly to the bottom connection (Sway bar connected to the link arm) and remove the strut as outlined but with the link attached to save time and aggravation? Thanks for your video and info
Great video. Very well explained.
To bad that you don’t deliver in Canada.
Would you make a video to how to replace 2007 Toyota camry LOWER CONTROL ARM please
Anyone know if an 07 Avalon would be similar or the same? Thanks!
+dbsrid4 The part shown in the video does fit your application. It should be the same or a similar procedure. Hope this helps you out!
dont do your struts trust me. do your brakes. do your wutever. just dont do struts. my 2010 camry has nuts down there thats super rusty. and i couldnt even get it loose with a 1200lb ft impact wrench. mines a 2010 and yours 2007. you're gonna have a hell of a day.
After I changed my strut I had a lot of positive camber. I took it to the shop and they said it was the tie rods, then the end link, then another shop said I needed a camber kit. I did all of that but still I have positive camber. How can I fix this
Did you ever fix the positive camber issue? You said it started after you changed a 'strut' meaning you only changed 1 strut and not 2 at once?
Mike, who makes part numbers 1ASFK04803 and 1ASFK06444?
Your representatives cannot tell us and they cannot/will not tell us what “Lifetime” warranty means. How
Many miles or years? If you want more sales then listen to your customers reasonable requests. Easy business decisions will grow your business.
Mine only fits a 5mm hex key.
Is an alignment required after replacing the struts?
yes
Its recommended that any steering component part replacement that an alignment be done
How about using power tools ?
👍👍👍👍👍
I have a Toyota Camry 2007 Hybrid. The gas pedal can sometimes randomly become unresponsive while driving. The car still has power and everything else works, but it will not accelerate and slowly glide to an eventual halt as if it were on neutral. No unusual sound or anything when I press on the pedal, just zero acceleration. If I pull over and restart the car, everything becomes normal again. This happens a few times a day. Any idea what it could be? The dashboard is showing check vsc and hybrid system. I also checked the obd but the only codes that showed were regarding battery replacement.
Thanks!
+Minto Gean Thanks for watching! We strongly recommend you take your vehicle to a reputable garage to have it looked at. Intermittent issues like this can be tough to diagnose, so taking it to a professional will give you a better chance at an accurate diagnosis! 1aauto.com
There was a recall for these models for that exact issue. Look it up.
Your hybrid battery is shot, or the cooling system for it is faulty.
Does a 2009 Camry only have struts and not shocks?
Yes, the 2009 Toyota Camry will have struts on both the front and rear. +kevin le
1A Auto Parts okay thank you! Just making sure. I thought the 2009 Camry had both struts and shocks.
So the 2009 Camry does not have any shocks?
Yes, the 2009 Camry has struts on both rear and front. +kevin le
Hella yeah ma boi 🤟🏾
i would always keep original spring
sure made installation simple
You are GOOD!
After replacing struts I have to make alignment ?
Thanks for checking us out! Yes, you will want to have an alignment done after replacing the struts on your vehicle. Hope this helps you out! +Your Nightmare

Thank you for your guidance, but I have a question, I changed the shock absorbers in front and back but there is something I do not understand, according to the instructions booklet of the shock absorbers that I installed says the mounting nuts above says, in front 29 lbs. foot and back 20 lbs.foot tell me which one is the right one for both, I see that you give the fit to 63 foot pounds in front and 29 foot pounds back, my vehicle is a Toyota Camry 2009 SE

if its just the strut boot thats broken can you change that or is it just easier too replace the whole assembly
IMHO it's easier to change out the whole thing. Removing the boot means removing the strut mount, which also means dealing with a spring that is under 2 tones of compression force. Said spring can easily injure or even kill those who are careless.
@@Eyeofnelms I keep thinking about this and unless the spring was to shatter or you were to do something very stupid spring compression is safe. Just keep your face and body away from either end just in case.
