why does my Toyota Camry Eighth Generation (2018-present) feel like it’s bouncing on rough roads

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, socket set, torque wrench, wheel chocks
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Wear safety goggles and gloves.

2. Lift the Vehicle

• Use a jack to lift the vehicle from the designated lift points.
• Secure the vehicle with jack stands to prevent accidental lowering.

3. Remove the Wheels

• Use a socket set to remove the lug nuts and take off the wheels for access to the suspension.

4. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components

A. Inspect Shock Absorbers/Struts

• Check for any signs of oil leakage or physical damage.
• If damaged, remove the old strut by unbolting it from the top mount and lower control arm.

B. Replace Shock Absorbers/Struts

• Install new shock absorbers or struts by reversing the removal procedure.
• Torque the mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specifications (consult repair manual for exact torque values).

5. Reassemble and Lower Vehicle

• Reinstall the wheels and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
• Lower the vehicle from the jack stands using the jack and then fully tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.

6. Final Inspection

• Check all suspension components for proper installation.
• Ensure no tools are left in the engine bay or under the vehicle.
