Hi All,
I hear squeaking, cracking and thumping sounds from the drivers front (DF) and passengers front (PF) sides of my 1998 Toyota Camry LE (4 cyl). The sounds seems to go away when the weather is warm/hot and it comes back when the weather goes below 50. Steering quality is good without any resistance. I don't feel any play on the steering either. I am thinking the strut mounts and/or bearing are shot and need replacement. Any other thing that could be causing this situation? I was thinking about replacing all the 4 struts with Monroe Quick Struts. What is the quality like on those struts. These quick struts are available on the cheap from strutmasters in NC as compared to other places. I am thinking of doing them myself. Considering that I have done all brake work, starter replacement, engine tuneups including spark plugs and wires, oil and coolant changes etc. myself, is there any hindrance to doing this myself? Any tips, gotchas and things I need to be careful off?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
