TRQ Rear Driver and Passenger Side Strut and Spring Assembly Set Loaded Pre-Assembled Coil Spring Spring Seat Spring Isolator Compatible with 97-01 Toyota Camry L4 2.2L 99-03 Solara

I recently installed the TRQ Front Strut & Coil Spring Assembly Set on my vehicle, and the experience has been a mix of positives and challenges. Pros: Pre-Assembled Convenience: The struts arrived fully assembled, making the installation process straightforward and saving me time. Cost-Effective: Compared to OEM parts, this set offered a more budget-friendly option without compromising on essential features. Cons: Ride Quality Concerns: After installation, I noticed a decrease in ride comfort. The vehicle feels stiffer, and there's increased road noise, which wasn't present with the original struts. Durability Issues: Within a short period, I began to hear squeaking noises from the struts, indicating potential wear or lubrication issues. Fitment Challenges: While the struts fit my vehicle model, I had to make minor adjustments during installation to ensure proper alignment. Conclusion: The TRQ Front Strut & Coil Spring Assembly Set offers an affordable alternative to OEM parts. While it provides convenience and initial cost savings, the long-term ride quality and durability may not match that of higher-end brands. If you're on a tight budget and need a quick replacement, this set could be a viable option, but be prepared for potential compromises in comfort and longevity.

TRQ is always good value for the money. They come fully assembled and include all the rubber silencers and rubber boots. Your car will ride so much better! And it’s easy!

I do not recommend this product. It does not fit a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E350. I purchased it in May 2025, and it failed within 4–5 months. Also made weird noises while driving. The bolts did not seat or lock properly because the part is off-spec. One bolt came loose while driving, causing additional damage. After installation, my front wheels also appeared crooked, indicating improper alignment due to poor fitment. I had to pay additional out-of-pocket costs to repair the damage caused by this strut. Unsafe and poor-quality product.

Perfect fit, shipped pretty quick and instal was super easy with the TRQ YouTube tutorial!

If you want to skip to the summary at the end of this review, that's fine. I'm going to review these as someone with 0 car knowledge, that used Reddit and Youtube to buy these quick struts and install them. My struts were shot. Every bump I hit I could feel hitting my frame. all of my tires were cupping and becoming bumpy. It felt super sketchy. So much tire noise. I didn't have enough money to go to a mechanic to get them replaced. I don't know anything about "compressing" the coil or spring or whatever in a strut, so I couldn't buy a better quality one that I would have to assemble myself...so quick struts already assembled was my only option. Installation with 0 car knowledge took me a 2-3 hours. Jack up the car with a floor jack, put on jack stands, take the wheels off. And undo 4 bolts? Take out the strut carefully. Tight fit. Really annoying, but doable. Important and will save you some hassle: if you don't know anything about cars, the tie rod that you have to put into the struts can be a bit of a pain to get in the hole. What I didn't know was that the suspension is connected on both sides, so it's pretty much impossible to do without jacking up both sides. Jack up one side, put a jack stand. Take the floor jack to the other front side, jack it up, put another jack stand. Tie Rods are still a pain to get aligned in the struts, but either way, save yourself some time and hassle...you have to have both sides jacked up at the same time or the tie rod will be too high to reach the hole in the struts. Also important for 2016 Kia Fortes: To get the struts out, and install the new ones, you have to remove the windshield wipers, and the windshield wiper tray thing. Not difficult at all. Windshield wipers have two plastic circles, you pop out, and then undo the bolts. The tray has 4 plastic push in little things. You push in the tiny circle in the middle of them, and then pop them out. Then you take the rubber cap off of the top of the struts. Don't fully undo the nuts on those, or else the strut will drop on the axle. Let taking those off be the last thing you do. After you get it set, put the 4 bolts or whatever back on. Put your tires back on, and you're in business. Review of these struts: Going from what felt like 0 strut power to these, feels so incredibly nice. I forgot what suspension felt like. Cut down on so much car noise. I can actually feel them working. Downside: They do make a bit of a squeaky sound when you hit a bump or pothole. I can live with the sometimes squeaky sound, knowing that they are functional, working, easy to install, and cheap on my wallet. I'm a week in and no complaints, everything feels safe. I got an alignment and they inspected my car and didn't say anything negative about my shock installation. After installation, go get a wheel alignment from a shop for $100 or so. Between the shocks, struts, tires, and alignment I paid $800 in total. The shop quoted me at $2,300 for everything. Would do again myself. Would buy again.

Those worked beautifully! Still going strong! Thanks for making it easy with the other items sold with the suspension kit! Everything was seem less once I got the rusted worn components off and drilled the old bolts out/nuts off! Once I loaded the upper control arm it was no problem

Just installed these several days ago on my 2007 Toyota Rav 4. They seem to be well made and appears equivalent to the oems. The dimensions of struts are identical. After replacing these along with the sway bars the rattle has disappeared. I am 79 and couldn't have done it without the YouTube videos available to watch. Seven bolts on the spring and strut. One bolt attached to the strut from the sway bar. I had to grind the 2nd bolt off of the sway bar since it was too badly rusted on. You will have to compress the spring which isn't shown on the videos - I used a second hydraulic jack to do so.

I've been using the entire set from this manufacturer for several months. The quality is not the best. The stabilizer links make noises as if they weren't new, but already used. The control arms have a rubbing and creaking sound due to excessively hard rubber in the joints, and you need to drive 20-30 miles to warm them up, but these sounds don't completely disappear. In short, it's better to buy the original parts, even if they're a little more expensive, than to suffer with these.
