Thanks David, glad to hear from you again. I will check those out.

 

Is that for the FCS assemblies? Those are the only complete units I am seeing unless I am looking them up wrong.

 

That is all they have at that site, try looking up fully loaded Monroe strut assemblies. Several sites had them when I was searching for my struts.

 

Thanks.

 

If I change all four struts will the TCH need a 4 wheel alignment? I am not familiar with 4 wheel alignments so I don't know how to tell if it can be done on the TCH or not. If so what is the going rate for a four wheel alignment?

 

I usually get mine aligned when I replace the struts and most shops will do a 4 wheel alignment if the car can be adjusted. In this area, the rates for a 4 wheel alignment will range from $60 to $90.

 

Changed all four struts on my TCH. Now have to get the 4 wheel alignment. Thanks for all the help everyone. I purchased complete units so I didn't have to mess with changing the springs, etc. Was actually a simple operation if you take your time and watch what you are doing. I did the two rear ones first.

 

I know how to search the internet but can not find loaded strut assemblies for my '07 Camry Hybrid.

Can someone post a link?

Thanks-

Jim

 

Did you search for loaded strut assemblies or complete strut assemblies?

 

Just did mine. Listened to Georgehybrid and bought OESpectrum from Monroe.
Pass side was "learning" one, took me about an hour.
Driver side was about 25 minutes. Basically, it's 5 bolts to undo job. No, 6, counting strut rod nut.
I also greased rubber parts with good grease, where springs contact them. And greased all tower bearings surfaces, there are 2 per strut. Was planning on doing tie rod ends same time, but they are super tight, so I let them be.
I bought mine for $72 each from autopartstomorrow, free shipping.
My car is next to hitting 90K miles, and struts removed indeed lost a lot of their function. There was almost no rebound when strut rod was pressed in; also, up-down movement from both hands was not stopped/dampened. No leaks, one strut had brown (overheating) ring on the strut rod.
Now, entire job was a breeze because of this tool:
