Parts for your 2024 Toyota Camry-Strut mounts

2024 Toyota Camry strut mounts

Strut mounts are absolutely relevant on the 2024 Toyota Camry. Technical sources including the Toyota Repair Manual (TIS) for the 2024 Camry (AXVA70/AXVH70 series) and Toyota’s New Car Features (NCF) manual specify a MacPherson-strut front suspension, which uses a dedicated upper strut mount and bearing assembly (often labelled “Front Suspension Support Sub-Assembly” in the Toyota parts catalogue). The rear of the 2024 Camry is a multi-link setup with separate shock absorbers and upper insulators, not rear struts.

On the front end, the strut mount is the hero that ties the top of the strut to the body while isolating vibration and road harshness from the cabin. It houses a bearing so the strut can rotate smoothly as the wheels steer, helping maintain precise alignment and a planted, quiet ride. In real-world terms, healthy strut mounts keep the Camry feeling tight and composed over corrugations, and stop that annoying knock over speed bumps.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to inspect the strut mounts whenever front dampers, springs, or top seals are checked—typically every 20,000–40,000 kilometres, or if there’s a change in steering feel or noise. Many owners replace mounts when fitting new front struts, as the rubber and bearing age at a similar rate. In Australian and New Zealand conditions, replacement can be expected somewhere around 120,000–180,000 kilometres, earlier if the car sees rough roads or heavy loads.

• Common wear signs: clunks on bumps, creaks when turning, “memory steer” (wheel doesn’t self-centre cleanly), vague steering, or uneven front tyre wear.
• Good practice: replace left and right mounts as a pair, always use new self-locking nuts and follow Toyota torque specs, perform a wheel alignment afterwards.
• Workshop tips: mark spring orientation, protect ABS/sensor wiring, and use a proper spring compressor—front struts store serious energy.

Genuine or high-quality aftermarket mounts with integrated bearings will restore steering smoothness and NVH control to as-new. Hybrids use the same basic front strut-mount architecture, so the guidance applies across the 2024 Camry range.

Popular questions about 2024 Toyota Camry strut mounts

Does the 2024 Camry have strut mounts front and rear?
The front uses MacPherson struts with dedicated strut mounts and bearings. The rear is multi-link with separate shocks and upper insulators, so there are no rear strut mounts to replace—just shock mounts/insulators if they wear.

How long do front strut mounts last?
Driving style and road quality matter, but many last 120,000–180,000 kilometres. If there are knocks over bumps, notchy steering, or uneven tyre wear, have them inspected sooner and consider replacing them with the struts.

Do I need an alignment after replacing strut mounts?
Yes. Disturbing the strut assembly can nudge camber and caster. A proper four-wheel alignment after fitment protects tyre life and ensures the Camry tracks straight and feels right at the wheel.
