This video is made as a guideline to show you how to replace the front struts on any Toyota Camry. There will be differences in torque specs as well as minor differences in mounting hardware, but overall, it’s the same exact process.
I hope it was helpful!
Torque specs for 92-96 Toyota Camry front struts:
Lower Strut Bolts: 156 ft.lbs.
Upper Strut Nuts: 59 ft.lbs.
Axle Nut (if removed): 217 ft.lbs
Lug Nuts: 76 ft.lbs.
Parts required for this repair:
- Front Struts (KYB 334171 & KYB 334170): rockauto.com/en/catalog/toyota,1996,camry,3.0l+v6,1273564,suspension,strut,7584
- Front Springs (ACDELCO 45H0252): rockauto.com/en/catalog/toyota,1996,camry,3.0l+v6,1273564,suspension,coil+spring,7512
- Front Strut Assemblies (for the 2.2L 4cyl): 1aauto.com/1995-96-toyota-camry-front-driver-and-passenger-side-2-piece-strut-and-spring-assembly-set-trq-sca57044/i/1assp00434
- Front Strut Assemblies (for the 3.0L V6): Honestly, good luck lol. Not easy to find an assembly with the right spring for the V6 (which is heavier than the 4 cyl).
