Do struts have to me replaced when fluid is leaking?
I have been told that fluid is leaking from a front strut on my 2007 toyota camry 4 cyl. Do I have to replace both from struts and what should it cost.
Re: do struts have to me replaced when fluid is leaking?
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

This is quite difficult to judge, because struts normally degrade slowly and you don't notice the change. If you look at a strut and it is leaking oil, it is easy to decide it needs replacing.
The most popular test method is to bounce one corner of the car and try to judge if it is too bouncy. It may help to compare this with a new car. That is only a gross test though, and may deceive.
Another way is to simply replace the struts at one end when they are fairly old, say 50 000 mi at the front (the front struts wear out first).
For 1995 Toyota Camry 2.2L EFI DOHC 4cyl the Fuel Filter is located under hood, driver side, front side of strut tower, mounted on fenderwell in fuel line .
This sounds like a bad strut, one or both on the front has gone bad. Here is a picture of just the strut with out the spring. The price ranges from $65.00 to $220.00 depends on what you can afford.
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
