Hi there,

I have a 1991 SV21 Camry which is in bad need of having the shock absorbers replaced on all four corners.

Can anyone tell me definitively if it is possible to replace just the shock absorber inserts? Or does it require the entire strut assembly to be replaced? I have been told by some that the shocks cannot be replaced, yet I see they are available to purchase individually, hence the confusion.

While replacing the shocks, how do you know if the springs also need replacing?

Thank you for your assistance,

Stanaz

You will need to change the entire strut assembly, there may be aftermarket shocks that can be inserted, though I'm not sure what would be involved to get them in.

      Landcruiser Prado (150 series) AVS suspension

      Hi, I have a 2012 Prado (150 series) which is the LC5 (UK top end model) with AVS (suspension). My problem is that I find the AVS very brittle and a bit uncomfortable (on UK road tarmac) compared to my two previous LandCruisers - a 2001 Colorado and a 2006 Prado (120 series) with standard mechanical suspension. In the UK there are so few Prados sold with AVS that the dealers have no knowledge, and there is no Toyota UK technical support. Although I have no warning lights on the dash, there is no difference in the poor ride quality between Firm and Soft settings, thus I feel something must be broken between the dashboard switch and the dampers. Note that my dampers have been checked and two rears replaced, but with no improvement. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of this situation?

      Dangerous rogue dash speaker reflection

      Yeah its the silver surround that not only reflects up onto the windscreen but on the road on the way to and from work reflects the light straight into my eyes. I have just thrown a dark rag over eqch for now as a low tech fix but it looks pretty daggy in a vehicle I am otherwise really happy with. I have asked the dealer how to remove the covers, which they will have to do anyhow as the right one has a small dint in the face. Again only noticeable as the finish is not matt so the dint stands out. I have also messaged JBL nothing back so far.

      Sorry everyone, made a mistake on the post. Should be the third wheel stuck on 004 and the fourth wheel keeps rotating. Cheers

      93 Landcruiser Trip Meter

      Hi Guys. My trip meter stopped working recently. When setting back to 000 it will rotate until it gets to 040. the third wheel, which is in 100m increments keeps scrolling but the km wheel is stuck on 4. Any advice would be helpful. Cheers
