Leaking struts - Toyota Camry

I have Monroe products over the years and will look into their struts as replacements.

I’d recommend KYB. They’re OEM suppliers to Toyota.

@Cavell

where do you stop on the strut replace job?

I believe in replacing all the rubbery bits (spring mount pads, stop bumpers, dust boots, upper mounts) along with the struts. These rubbery bits absorb vibration and shock, they’re not expensive, and new ones restore that great like-new ride. They really do make a difference.

Heard Toyota has had some problems with struts over the last few years

I’m unaware of any chronic strut problems with Camrys.

Thanks for the heads up. Will replace all 4 and yes to the 4 wheel alignment.

I will more than likely replace the 4 struts and avoid any future problems. Thanks.

I’ve had so-so experience with Monroe

They work okay, but they don’t seem to last more than 5 years or so

I will more than likely replace the 4 struts

I’d like to see some pictures of the leaky struts. If you turn the front wheels all the way to the left or right, you might be able to take a good picture or two, and post it

By the way, I assume you don’t have that classic yo-yo ride, when going over bumps. But are the strut mounts making noise?
