Difficult to give a round number as an answer. This is one of those tthings that are done "by feel" more than anything else. MUCH depends on the type of roads and surfaces it is driven over on regularly, and the driving habits of the owner. When you feel that the suspension is getting too "loosey-goosey" over rough surfaces or if the front suspension starts hopping under acceleration and the tires won't hold the road, it is definitely time.
I just traded an '06 with 98K and still had the original struts. I would definitely have them looked at carefully when it reaches around 100K.
Only you can tell.
If struts need to be replace on a car it's evident by how noisy and bumpy the ride is. The cost to replace struts on a Toyota RAV4 is approximately $600.
There are four suspension struts, one for each wheel, and two rear window hatch support struts.
About $450-600 only for struts maybe even more plus labor and tax.
Struts and shocks have a life span of 50k miles.If your struts have started to leak,they need to be changed as soon as possible.
If you change by yourself it's about $200-300 depending on which struts you pick. If you ask your mechanic to do that it's at least $450 (depending on state and city/town).
It's time to replace the struts on a 1998 Toyota RAV4 if you notice signs such as excessive bouncing or swaying while driving, uneven tire wear, or leaking fluid from the struts. Additionally, if you experience a rough ride or hear clunking noises over bumps, these can also indicate that the struts are worn out. Generally, struts should be inspected every 50,000 miles and replaced if necessary. Regular maintenance and check-ups can help determine their condition.
Dealer says 60K
Struts.
Camry struts are expensive installedI have a 1995 Toyota Camry and have quotes of $800 to $900 PER AXLE. I havn't replaced them yet, but the bushings on the rear struts are rattling. I have 139,000 miles on my Camry. $1,800 seems like a lot of money to spend on a car that is worth maybe $3,000. it should only be $172 Toyota rear strut each and then $110 labor each strut...check out discount tire as they even have buy 3 get one free today for both front/rear purchase oct2009 lasts till 10/18 only.
There can be no general answer to this question. MUCH depends on the area of the country (or world) you are asking about - whether it will be done by a dealer or an independent shop - and the quality of the parts that will be used.
I paid $900 for shocks/struts and bushings. I was told that was the "brother in law" discount.
The 1999 Toyota Camry has struts on the front and rear of the car.
