Camry suspension problem

[Cyee_29]

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

If its shot, go to the stockist, buy the suspension for the rear, then head to your regular workshop to change. Far cheaper than BM

Did mine ( 2L Camry., JDM) recently for abt $750/- (front 2 shocks only plus stopper).

I always leave it to the wshp to do everything, so it won

Think it will be time to fet a second quote for repair. 750 for front 2 shock is a bit expensive.

Camry's suspension are very tough already,usually these sound will come around 80k km...tear & wear occur on every car.

Hi bro, can pass me the contact? Btw do normally ppl bring parts to WS and ask them to replace ? Feel like quite paiseh to do so ?

[Tireburner]

$750 is Hanip's price,they used the original parts,O.E.M. only costs about $400...

Isn't O.E.M already the original, Original Equipment Maker? Or there's something more original than OEM?

I had the front two coils replaced last year when my 2.0 was below 3 years old. 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.

hi bro, i havent changed, maybe this or next weekend, gotta find time for it, all WS closed after 6pm :(

 

mileage 59k ... not sure should change all 4 or just the rear absorbers. though now the sound seem to come from the rear wheels only

 

autosaver quoted $700 for rear absorbers, another forumer PM me for $500 ...

change all 4

camry rear tend to go first, changed mine around 60k mark also

 

700 that price too much

KYB excelg should be 250-ish a corner

 

last time was 200

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.

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?
