I took the rear strut off of one side today to change out the mount, the insulator boot fell out in pieces...Is this a toyota only part? Oh, and my struts are so soft that they can be collapsed easily by hand LOL!
Most part stores should have them, but that's the least of your worries if your struts are toast. NAPA carries both front and rear strut boots for all-tracs.
I got the insulators and the bump stops from Toyota....the insulators were falling apart and the bump stops were non existant...I think they fell out in hard chunks as I was removing the spring LOL It's sad...I'm stuck now. I hit a deer so I have to pay the deductable, then John's Matrix needed a starter...sheesh. That all came out of my budget, dang it.... :banghead So what that means is no struts yet...even though they're so soft you can push them in by hand with little effort...
I need insulators and possibly strut mounts too. Do you need to compress the springs? Not looking forward to this job... :ugh
You talking about the rubber donut shaped circle thing that the springs sit on? If you're talking about that then, I've asked around before and no one sells them for the Celica. I recently had my macpherson struts replaced and the shop called other shops to no avail. The struts I bought them with don't come with it either. I think the the scrapyard is your best bet.
I think I misunderstood you before and diagrams with part #'s will help. I though you meant strut shock boot, not spring insulators ops Here's the EPC part #'s and corresponding diagrams. I quickly searched the #'s and you should be able to source the parts you need :thumbsup: FRONT front upper 48157 front lower 48158B REAR rear upper 48258B rear lower 48258A
