Parts for your 2024 Toyota Camry-Strut mounts

2024 Toyota Camry strut mounts — what they do and when to replace

Based on Toyota’s technical information (Toyota Service Information/Workshop Manual and New Car Features for the XV70 series) and major fitment catalogues from suspension manufacturers, the 2024 Toyota Camry runs a MacPherson strut front suspension. That means strut mounts are absolutely fitted at the front. The rear is a multi-link/double-wishbone setup with separate shocks and coils, so there are no rear “strut mounts” in the strict sense—just shock mounts and bushes. So, for the 2024 Camry, strut mounts matter at the front axle.

On a 2024 Camry, the front strut mounts play a quiet but critical role. Sitting at the top of each front strut, they secure the strut to the body, isolate bumps and vibration, and allow the strut to rotate smoothly when steering. The integrated bearing (in mount designs that include one) lets the strut turn without binding, keeping the steering feel light and consistent. Good mounts help protect against harshness in the cabin, reduce knocks over sharp bumps, and support even tyre wear.

When it comes to servicing, it’s smart to treat strut mounts as “replace-with-the-strut” items. They live a tough life—constantly loaded, heat-cycled, and exposed to the elements—so by the time the original struts are due, the mounts are usually tired too. Most workshop pros recommend inspection every 40,000–60,000 kilometres and expect replacement somewhere between 100,000–160,000 kilometres, depending on road quality and driving style. City kerbs, rough rural roads, and speed humps can all hasten wear.

• Common signs they’re due: clunks or creaks over bumps, a groan when turning at low speed, vague steering, tramlining, or uneven tyre wear.
• Best practice: replace mounts, bearings, and dust boots when doing front struts, use new top nuts, torque to spec, and get a wheel alignment.
• Workshop tip: avoid hitting the strut shaft with an impact gun—use appropriate holding tools so the shaft isn’t damaged.

The 2024 Camry’s rear doesn’t use strut mounts, but its rear shock mounts and control arm bushes should still be checked—any play there can mimic front-end noises or affect stability. Quality OEM-equivalent mounts up front will restore the quiet, composed ride the Camry is known for, improve steering return-to-centre, and keep those tyres wearing evenly. For drivers planning a long roadie across Aus or NZ, fresh mounts paired with new struts make the car feel tight, confident, and comfy again.

Popular questions about 2024 Toyota Camry strut mounts

How long do front strut mounts last on a 2024 Camry?

Most last 100,000–160,000 kilometres in typical Aussie and Kiwi conditions, but it varies with road quality and load. Have them inspected every 40,000–60,000 kilometres or whenever front struts are assessed.

Replacing the mounts when fitting new front struts is a cost-effective way to avoid chasing noises later and to keep steering feel spot on.

Can worn strut mounts cause clunks and vague steering?

Yes. Worn rubber or a rough top bearing can cause knocks over speed humps, groans on low-speed turns, and a loose, wandering feel. You might also notice “memory steer,” where the wheel doesn’t return to centre cleanly.

If these symptoms show up, have a technician check the mounts before they damage tyres or stress other front-end components.

Does the 2024 Camry have rear strut mounts?

No. The rear is a multi-link/double-wishbone layout with separate shocks and coils, so it uses shock mounts and suspension bushes rather than strut mounts.

If you hear rear-end noises, ask for an inspection of rear shock mounts, control arm bushes, and stabiliser links instead.
