Monroe Shocks & Struts 271681 rear left strut assembly for the 1997-2001 Toyota Camry and other vehicles damps rear suspension movement at the left wheel. This complete strut and coil spring assembly is vehicle-specific, fit checked and ride tested.
A knock over bumps, oil on the strut body, a rear corner that sits low or extra bounce can mean the strut is worn. Before you replace it, rule out other rear suspension parts, tire wear and wheel bearing noise as the source, since they can feel alike.
It fits the 1992-1994 and 1997-2001 Toyota Camry and the 1997-2003 Toyota Avalon, and it is also a strut assembly for the 1992-2001 Lexus ES300. The rear axle has one strut on each side. This listing is the rear left one; the rear right is a separate part, and the pair on that axle is normally replaced at the same time.
