How to replace rear struts on 1995 Corolla - 1995 Toyota Corolla

under braking , problem rh brakes not working
strut and strut bush failure
suspension problems

The rear doesn't have struts just ordinary shock absorbers that you just unbolt and replace, no special skills needs and just a floor jack safety stands and hand tools top replace the shocks is all that is required..

hello.well to be honest with you,if you don't have the proper equipment to do the job,i would have a professional do it.if one of the springs come loose from the spring compressor,you can get hurt very badly or even death can occur.these springs are compressed very much and if one happens to come loose it can take a persons head off.i am sorry for saying it like this,but i want you to know what are some of the real consequences with this job ok.i hope you take this into consideration before attempting to do this job ok. take care and good luck, manny

sounds like bad struts alright.....how is the tire wear? worn out struts would wear the tires irregularly.

there is a tool to compress the spring.
you need to be very careful working on this job
you can get hurt very easy

you will need a good coil spring compressor(you can rent one at your local auto parts store),a good set of hand tools,(an air compressor would make it alot easier).Also you need to be extremely careful the springs are under a lot of pressure and can cause severe injury to your person if not removed properly.Lastly a good manuel that shows the break down and gives step by step instructions would be helpful.

I would recommend either Monroe or KYB (if available), KYB would be the bet, but they may not be available for that vehicle, tey are fairly expensive... but well worth the money. Hope this helps.

It should be the same, the only difference is the front suspension will have heavier coil springs to cope withe the diesel engine.
Rear will be identical as long as its off the same year car.

Its not the simple on teh 1995 xj6, the rear axle needs to be dropped down. If you email me I will send you the factory info to replace them [email protected]

You will have to remove the rear seat.Go to the bottom cusion in the front and yank it up,about a foot in from the outside on each side.Once it out there are some bolts on the bottom of the back rest cusion remove those and push it up and remove.Then you cen get to three nuts on each strut top.
