Re: Subject change: Pszemol's Camry springs

Ohh, ok . Then the condition of the front struts were pretty amazing,
given that they take most of the load. By 50-70K miles most are like
the rear struts you mentioned. The poor condition was also amazing
relatively speaking,  given that they take much less load.

The rubber bu****ngs I mentioned were the "strut rods" that go from the
wheel hub to the subframe, not the stabilizer link with (small) ball
joints. While the stabilizer links need to be changed, I'm not sure
they can make that much of a difference say than a weak spring.

Have someone sit on the left and then right side of the rear seat.
Measure the ride height. If more than 0.5 inch difference then you
know which spring is weak. The stabilizer bar should reduce the
difference somewhat I suspect, that's its job.
