You could take off the same bolt on the other side's control arm, and match it at a parts or hardware store. Or a salvage yard?
A dreaded trip to the dealership, perhaps? Even bolts have part numbers, but good luck trying to order parts for any 18 year old car from Ford or GM dealerships, probably all of them. Ford and GM particularly irk me when they call their own products "obsolete", and refuse to keep any parts line open to them. That includes cars less than 10 years old, can you imagine? That's why I drive old stuff, and preferably Asian, and preferably Nissan. Toyota got fat and westernized-corporatized- after the initial success and well deserved of the Camry. Often regretted not fixing and keeping my '84 Camry, but time had taken quite a toll- It was about 20 years old then.

SOURCE: Lower control arms

Personally, I would def get a 2nd opinion. To date, I have NEVER changed any lower control arms on an 02 Camry for wear; collision damage, yes, but not wear.... And, at 65K miles, I would think it rare for BOTH to fail at this stage in the life of the car. Lower control arms are easily checked. Try this: Take a passenger with you to a safe place, like a big parking lot. Have the passenger exit the vehicle and have him/her stand alongside of the vehicle. Back up 5-10 feet. Pull forward slow, have you passenger stare at the front wheel. Brake the car. Repeat. If the lower control arms are GOOD, the wheel will NOT look like they "move" backward when braking. The only thing that can go wrong with the lower arms is the bushings may wear, and, when braking, the car will move forward on the loose bushings, and give you the appearance that the front wheel(s) will move slightly. In any case, take the car to a professional. $1,500 dollars is a lot of cash for a vehicle that prob does NOT need lower arms. PLUS, the lower arms are roughly $250-$275 apiece (Toyota part numbers 48068-33030 & 48069-33030; call your dealer for the exact prices, just give him the previous 2 part numbers), and, your mechanic...he is going to charge you a thousand dollars for labour?????? For 2 flat rate hours per side to change? PLEASE...Kick this guy to the curb. Even if it DID need the arms, he is simply robbing you. My price, IF it needed them, would be 900.00 + tax.

SOURCE: To remove the interior door panel of a 1996 Toyota camry so that

My 96 Camry LE has 9 attachments that are visible. Some have plastic caps covering the screws; others do not. There are screws at the door handle, at the forward portion(with covers) when the door is open and the back edge (small covers). As I recall, there are several friction type fasteners around the perimiter of the panel that can be removed by prying carefully away from the metal portion of the door to free up the trim panel. Once these are loose, the trim around the inside door release handle (the one you pull to open the door) can be pryed in a backward motion. Then the entire panel can be removed by pulling upward and backward at the same time (it easier to do this with the window down). Then it is a matter of disconnecting the wires attached to the various controls for the electric windows and door locks to free up the panel itself. There is probably a plastic skin covering the metal portion of the door. Carefully pull that away to expose the inner workings of the door latch mechanisim. The rest of the procedure should become easy to figure out. I have not removed the exterior door handle itself; but it is a simple mechanism as I recall. Best of luck to you.

How do you measure banjo fittings

There are these things specified, length, thread size, hex head size (SW).

https://www.landefeld.de/gruppe/en/banjo-bolts-1-way-metric-din-7643-version-a/8910300

That one is of course a metric fitting, but you really only need to order new metal seal washers for them unless the fittings are lost or damaged.

How do i change my rear control arm on my 1995 camry

The bolts and nuts on the rear axle carriers where they attach to the lower arms will be very tight. You will need a breaker bar and a good socket of the correct size. I use a length of steel water pipe slid onto the end of the socket wrench handle. You can also buy long handled breaker bars

NEED TO KNOW THE SIZE OF THE WRENCHES NEEDED TO CHANGE FRONT/REAR BRAKE PADS FOR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY.

It all depends on what type, some are bolts, some are torx type, and some are allen wrench type.
On the back pads you need a special tool to press in the piston, cause the back ones need to be turned in, not pressed in like the front. At any rate, the bolts are metric.
