Detroit Axle - Front Struts for 97-01 Toyota Camry 2.2L - [99-03 Solara 2.2L 2.4L] Complete 2 Struts w/Coil Spring 1998 1999 2000 2001 Replacement Ready Struts Shocks Assembly

I installed two rear struts on my 1999 Camry. The ride is immensely better and I got a lift of about 3" at the back tires. I installed one as I received it and found out the excess length of the 3 top studs on the new strut made it quite difficult to tighten the 3 nuts back up with the 1/4" drive ratchet I used to take them off the top of the old strut. I cut 3/4" of these 3 studs off of the new strut with a Dremel cut-off wheel (so the new studs were the same length as the ones on the old strut) and that made it much easier to access them with this 1/4" drive ratchet and get them tightened up. If you do this, chase the threads that you have cut off before you poke them up through the holes, so you don't create other problems (like a seized / galled thread). If you own a 1999 Camry you probably need a pair of these great struts.

I'd never heard of Detroit Axle, but while shopping for new suspension components for my beater car (a 1996 Toyota Avalon), I found their fully-assembled struts sold in pairs for only slightly more than other brands wanted for just the strut cartridge themselves and decided to give them a try.To my absolute amazement, they look exactly like the OEM Toyota parts in every way, bolted right in effortlessly, and most importantly, ride just like OEM parts. I've already put nearly 1000 miles on them, and the value and quality continue to amaze me.

It's been several weeks since I installed them I usually get Monroe Sensa-Trac. These were instalked in a 1999 toyota Camry. I did not want to spend over $500 for all four struts. Theses struts are absolutely excellently. I'm going to use them on all my vehicles, once they wear out. All my other vehicles are 2015 to 2021. But these bad boys will be installed in them. I highly recommend them. I waited to share this reviews to test them for a little bit. They're way worth the money.

Brake line didn’t fit. Had to modify the holder to make it work.

They fit! They work. I haven't measured the ride height because I want to be able to put 3 bikes on a trunk mount carrier, so riding high empty isn't an issue for me. For me, a first time DIY strut replacement, I really liked that Detroit Axle "gave me a hint" by including the sway bar end links. After many years on the wet side of Oregon, the sway bar end link was impossible to remove on one side and I had to cut it off. Having new sway bar links in hand was very convenient. I did replace both of the sway bar end links. FYI, For good control and to avoid accidentally cutting something I didn't want to cut, I cut the nut on the sway bar end link off with my Dremel using a cut off blade, use eye protection. Also used the Dremel with a wire wheel to thoroughly clean the other bolts for the strut, made them so much easier to remove. That little wire wheel cleans much better than a wire brush, it's a little tight quarters to get a wire brush everywhere. Longevity? I don't know, these a great value for me partially because I only need them to last another 30K miles, if that.

These Detroit struts were absolutely amazing for the price they came they're super good quality would definitely recommend them if you're buying struts for your car

It's Saturday morning, time to install fresh struts! I just removed the existing Left Front strut and went to put in one of the "L" marked struts from Detroit Axle and... wait a second, this is MUCH longer than what I took out... wait a second, Detroit Axle sent me FOUR REAR STRUTS.So now I get to put the just-removed strut back in and put the car back together and I've wasted a Saturday morning. Ridiculous.Follow-up:I contacted Detroit Axle on Monday. I emailed pictures and followed up with a call. They WOULD NOT ship out the correct parts until they either a) first received the parts they shipped in error back or b) I PAID more money to get the correct parts shipped.I paid them the money, they got their parts back within 3 days and after a week, they still had not credited the payment back.TO TOP IT ALL OFF -- the car sits like a jacked-up '70s muscle car. See picture. The ride height in the back is 3 INCHES more than stock. Note, that is not 3 inches more than before, but 3 inches more than the original Toyota specification. Looks absurd and ridiculous. See for yourself in the included picture.Think they'll fix the problem? I doubt it. Extremely poor transaction, product, company.

These struts are excellent. I replaced all four on my 2000 camry and the ride is so much better. The rear ones raised the back by about 2" and not only that, the springs are so much more beefier. I put all my 180 lbs on one and couldn't budge it in the least. These are a great value at $300.
