I've been told that my front and rear struts are leaking!

DOG _bone, is extreme slang in this business. where is it.?does what?
CCW ,
RIGHTY TIGHTY LEFTY LOOSEY(SIC)

unless doing axles.
or on some engine cranks that spin backwards not clock wise spin.

CCW means counter clockwise. for RHT, right hand treads


I guess dog bone is steering box, pitman arm, no such think , on Rack&pinion
no !
I guess topic is :
or suspension link arms. no told what it does this BONE./


not told at all where it is.
Under car, front or rear.??
track link rods
TIE rods.
front strut rods
rear?

CCW ALL I guessed at (bones)

83ft/lbs new. day1 in production line,, strut rod, example guessed
make no bones about it, lots of bones on any Camry

Front lower strut/ shock mount 155 ft/lbs.
Rear lower strut/ shock mount 133 ft/lbs.

side of back seat 10 or 12 mm bolt on bottom then push up on seat

I'd be concerned a linkage has come adrift in the back end somewhere, or one of the rear struts has failed and lost its oil. Another possibility is that a rear wheel is loose, either at the wheel nuts or the hub itself.

Here is a diagram, at p 80 and p 89.

Have a look under there and compare it to this, try to see if anything has fallen off. Look at the rear strut towers to see if there is any fluid leak visible which might indicate one side is not functioning.

With the car jacked up, grab each rear wheel at the tread, front and rear, then top and bottom, give it a hard shake to see if you can feel any looseness.

Never get under the car when supported only by a jack of any type. Use axle stands or wheel ramps.

-Depend on what you asked them to install for you.
-Make sure read all information in the receipt before go back to the shop.

Good luck

Hello. Welcome to FixYa.
Front struts: 1 hour per side times your areas labour rate
Rear struts: 1 1/2 hours per side times your areas labour rate.
Add a 4 wheel alignment price after the struts are changed
Thanks for choosing FixYa.

No, the rear struts will have to be replaced if they make noise and it bothers you.

From a safety point of view, if they are leaking or fail the 3 bounce test after pushing down on the bumper, then they should be replaced.

could be a wheel bearing, or a driveshaft doubt it though...hondas are bad on cv joint axle shafts

no you do not! this is a congame! unless your struts do not return to full ride height in one two two bounces when you push on the front of your hood you do not need to replace them. they wear out just like shocks

first of all firestone are rip off artist. you got suckered. next there are struts on the back and yes you should align them however it has more to do with how the tire wears than a steering issue. with only 12,000 miles I seriously doubt there would have been a problem. my solution would have been if one of the front tires was bad i would have replaced it then took the 2 back tires and put them on front and the new tire and other front tire on the back and no alignment would have been needed unless your girlfriend would have complained about it tracking one way or the other. feel free to click on my user tab anytime you need help.... please rate this.........thanks
