Camry :: Suspension Differences Between Gen 5 And Gen 6 LE / XLE?
Nov 1, 2013
Basically I would like to know the following:
Suspension differences between Gen 5 LE/XLE (do they even use the same suspension) vs. Gen 6 LE/XLE.
And also Gen 5 SE vs. Gen 6 SE, are there any significant suspension/handling differences between both generations? My dad used to have a Gen 7 Hybrid, he now has a 2013 Avalon Limited Hybrid.
I know the Gen 7 has a better driving experience than the gen 5, because my mom has a gen 7 hybrid XLE. What I want to know is if the suspension is quite different from gen 5 to 6.

I know that with the 1992 model year Celica the air box was changed a little (basically got a little bigger) and I think this coincided with the introduction of the rev2 5SFE (not sure though). I have a 92 with the rev2 5S but have the airbox from a 91 (with a K&N though, found it at the junkyard, score!).

Im new to this modification game but im very eager to get started. I have a 2010 LE and am kind of put off that a majority of parts seem to be made for the S model, the only differences I know between the LE and S is looks am I wrong? And are there any aftermarket Head Units with a screen that are reliable and not cheap looking or feeling? Also I haven't really seen a definite answer on whether coil overs or springs are better for a drop?

I've seen a copy of the order guide, and I still can't figure out what the differences between 2015 and 2016 GTIs is going to be. Maybe I'm not reading it correctly, but it doesn't look much, if any different.

Long story short is that I need to replace the 5 speed transmission in my 2002 AWP Jetta. I believe it has the EHA transmission in it from the factory, but what are the differences between the different transmission codes? Better question, can I swap any O2J transmission into my Jetta?

I thought I had come across a chart here that showed you the different spring ratings and the expected height change difference from stock, for each engine option.

Are there any significant differences between a 2004 and 2005 in build or quality that would/should one to chose the 2005 model? (the 2004 I am looking at is a very low mileage car that has all the options I would otherwise want)..

Looking for pictures of the differences between the track bar brackets from 05-07 vs 08-10?
I'm finding lots of conflicting info online, some saying 05-16 are the same, 05-10 are the same 05-07 are the same, ect.....
So what is the year breaks and difference between them all?

I just picked up a 2002 Camry with 137K miles and I can hear a rattling noise coming front passenger's side front suspension when tires are going over road irregularities. The car rides smooth so it doesn't seem that the struts are bad so was wondering is it a bushing or something in the front drivetrain (CV joint?). Interested enough my wife's 05 Lexus E330 with slightly less mileage makes the same noise on her driver's side.

After driving our 2015 Camry XSE for the last year, we feel the suspension is too stiff. I guess it is for the "sport" crowd, but we do not like feeling bumps on 3 to 5-hour road trips. What is the best approach to softening the suspension? The dealer says they can put in suspension components from the XLE for a couple grand. What should I focus on to soften the ride, shocks, struts, springs?

I just upgraded from my old 92 camry with 350k to a 04 camry SE.
When I bought it it had a noise in the right rear suspension of the car. I just assumed this would be something minor so I bought it anyway. Shortly after I had the car I noticed there's a clunk in the steering and it turns out my intermediate steering shaft is shot. Turns out this is a common problem.
Its mostly one one side (passenger). Its more of a thumping sound then a rattle and happens on just about every bump or hole in the road. I've replaced the swaybar bushings, the links are fine. Just to be absolutely sure I disconnected the links and drove the car with no sway bar and it had no effect on the noise.
I've replaced the strut mount, and while I had it out I checked the shock. Shock is fine. No leaks, dead spots or any play in the shaft. I've taken everything out of the car, spare tire, jack everything in the truck to eliminate any of that stuff bouncing around. All the control arm bushings seem tight, but I haven't spent much time checking this, need to give the bushings another look.
Are these something that commonly goes? I've checked all the exhaust hangers, rocked the exhaust back and forth, doesnt seem to be hitting anything.

Every year about his time for the last six years my 04 rear suspension starts to clunk. Sounds like a spring trying to reseat itself. I will raise the rear end, slide under on my 40 year old car, shake out of the suspension components and won't discern a thing. Never have been able to reproduce that clunking. I suspect it is the spring seats. By April, the clunking will be gone so I think the ambient temp has something to do with the noise. The strut mounts seem to be tight to the body so is the wear in the spring isolator or other components?

I picked up a 2014.5 SE V6 a month ago and the car has been great overall. But the suspension is stiff especially over rough roads as many of you already know.
I've searched around and there's talk about swapping strut/shock parts with an LE/XLE or different tires but I can't find how much of a difference it made.
BTW, the tires are new Yokohama Avid Envigors.

After I heard this sound thats sounds like a light knock coming from the left side of the car both front and back, i went to check it out.
Toyota Dealership mechanic : Definitely strut mount
2nd check from private mechanic : Definitely sway bar links (he wanted to change all four and sell me new llinks for $100 a pair.)
3rd check from sears service : Sounds like sway bar links, but it might be the struts, I cant say. I dont think its the mounts though(i asked of course). He checks sway bar links and says he doesnt notice any thing different from the ordinary, he thinks its tight. (but also thinks its possible its the problem). Basically left me more confused that i was.
2009 camry SE.
Now basically its a judgement call, but i'm planning on changing the RSB and replacing with UR RSB, so i might as well change those links.

Been having this problem for about a month now, and it seems like it keeps getting worse. The shocks feel like they are handling bumps ok....I feel no difference in how the car handles really.....but at lower speeds, going over bumps or pavement variations, I have a thuddy/clunky/floppy (I don't know the best way to describe it) sound coming from the suspension. I think it's from the front. I remember we had something similar to this before but it was in the rear, and I think the culprit ended up being something with the sway bar maybe? This front problem sounds much worse than the rear did though.

I put lowering springs on a few months ago and a pop/clunk has developed. There is a tiny lip of pavement just past my garage door and it clunks as I back out at an angle over it. Worse case I can check the torque on all of the bolts.

Slightly into my drive, my car begins to vibrate in what feels like the front end as well as in the steering wheel. At first it started when I was at high speeds on the highway but now it happens as lower speeds (like 40 mph). It does not happen at a specific speed only (so I don't believe it is a balance issue). Also, it doesn't happen all the time...sometimes it only lasts 5 minutes and sometimes it lasts longer. My tires are fairly new and recently checked for uneven wear, I've had an alignment and balance done so now I'm confused about the difference between issues with the following parts: struts, tire rods, rotors, or CV joints.

For a while now my wife has been getting a weird noise from the passenger side rear, it sounds like its right around the passenger side rear speaker area. It only happens on a hard bump or a pothole and it's kinda like a boing sound. Originally I thought that it was the trunk lid spring but I'm unable to narrow it down. I'm also aware that this is close to the rear strut.
