KYB SR4112 Strut Plus Complete Corner Unit Assembly, Black

This was a replacement for my old worn Toyota OEM struts on 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It’s an old car with 145k mileage so I was looking for a budget option to replace my suspension. The struts come pre-assembled with the springs compressed, which saves you hours of not messing with the springs which can also be quite dangerous without the professional equipment. Everything fitted perfectly. The price is just a fraction of the original Toyota strut assembly, which Toyota does not sell as a unit. The hardest part was removing the old struts and sway bars, but in my case the rust penetrator helped with all the bolts beautifully. If you’re doing the swap yourself, make sure to look up all the torque specs for all the bolts and have proper size and range torque wrenches with extensions before starting. Torquing the bolts with the car just few inches off the ground on jack stands was quite hard, especially for the back struts, but it was not impossible. I also recommend replacing sway bar links, as they were completely worn off on my car. After all the work was done, I noticed improvement in handling, and cornering, and the same bumps I always go over on the way to and from work felt smoother. I totally recommend this product for it work flawlessly and it saved me about $2k in parts and labor if I were to do it at Toyota delership with their original parts. 5 stars!

My application was a 2010 Toyota Camry LE. Had 115K miles on it and dealer said it needed new struts in the front. I decided to do front and rear. KYB is the OEM shock on the 2010 Camry, as it is stamped on the original shock. Not sure if it is the same model shock as the original KYB, but after install it rides/handles well and is quiet. The install is not difficult, especially if you have impact wrenches and breaker bars. Hardest part is loosening the nuts and bolts.

Installed all four with no problem. Alignment shop had to install an alignment kit to bring it into spec. Cost another $200 and the car sits higher than stock. Better to keep the stock springs and just replace the shocks itself.

Fit perfectly for our 2008 Camry
