Cyee_29 Clutched September 2, 2012 Share September 2, 2012 hi bros/sis, i need some advice for camry 2.4 suspension problem. about 2 months ago I started to notice a weird sound coming from the back left wheel. when my camry drove pass a hump or uneven road condition, the left back wheel would give out a 'klo-klo' sounds, and it had just got worse these few days. It feel as if the oil tanks gonna drop off! I asked a friends who told me could be suspension problem. Any bros can give some advice ? Can I just drive to toyota and ask them to check ? And if it is suspension problem, how much it cost to replace it ? thanks a lot ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far cheaper than BM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mileage at that was around 30 plus thousand KM. So far all four are ok. What's your mileage? Let us know how much after you've changed cos I think sooner or later I'll need it too. Thanks.

ER-3682 Twincharged September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 Isn't O.E.M already the original, Original Equipment Maker? Or there's something more original than OEM? Almost the same except original got the word "TOYOTA" marked on the body,while O.E.M. marked the Mfg name like Koni or KYB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camrysfa Turbocharged September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 Isn't O.E.M already the original, Original Equipment Maker? Or there's something more original than OEM? My rough idea: Toyota does not manufacture shock absorbers. They use market brands such as KYB. So, if your Toyota originally comes with a KYB, then it is the OEM part. OEM part is the most expensive. If you want a lower cost replacement, they will give brand B. BTW shock absorbers/struts/coils are the same thing? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
