Hello, I am trying to figure out exactly what I need to order here. For a 2007 Camry CE 2.4L 2AZ-FE.

KYB SR4109 Strut Plus Complete Corner Unit Assembly
https://www.amazon.com/KYB-SR4109-Complete-Corner-Assembly/dp/B00NYC0S1M/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1494266203&vehicle=2007-76-1011-972--1-6-5-8152-2400-1-1-2640--2-0&sr=1-1&ymm=2007%3Atoyota%3Acamry&keywords=kyb+strut+plus


One for the left front and one for the right front. But there is no option that I see on amazon to order the right strut.

There is also this listing, but it does not have the springs:

KYB KIT 4 FRONT & REAR shocks / struts 2007 - 09 TOYOTA Camry
https://www.amazon.com/KYB-FRONT-REAR-shocks-struts/dp/B002T08VF0/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1494268196&vehicle=2007-76-1011-972--1-6-5-8152-2400-1-1-2640--2-0&sr=1-1&ymm=2007%3Atoyota%3Acamry&keywords=kyb+rear+shock

I need everything, with the springs and it also must include the bearings (and I assume the boots also?). Does anyone know a single place where I can order everything for all four tires? Preferably at some kind of package deal that's hopefully under about $600.00 total?

Thanks for any help with this in advance.

For some reason, these don't come with springs for my car, but they do for other cars, which doesn't make sense.

No springs:

If you do a search on amazon for "gabriel complete strut", when filtering the results for my vehicles year/make/model/ it says no results found.

Same thing at both of these places as well, no springs:

http://www.autozone.com/suspension-steer...amp;model=ultra

There are springs on my OEM struts because my mechanic handed me the front left one (that broke off at 230,000 miles) after I asked him what was making a metal clanging noise under my car.

Ok so after more digging I found the following:

KYB KIT 4 FRONT & REAR shocks / struts 2007 - 09 TOYOTA Camry

^ Now if I get the above, I will still need 4 springs, strut mount (I think?) bearing, boot? Can someone help me out here because I have no idea how to find the other parts that will fit exactly.

Or there is this, but it is generic and made in China which could be a huge gamble. The advantage though is it is 100% complete unlike the above, also a lot cheaper, but I'd rather opt for quality for probably better safety and longevity:

Don't do the no-names. I took Trav's advice on Gabriel ultras (shock on my Tahoe) and they seem great so far. (just on a week at this point.) But it doesn't seem they are available as a complete assembly.. kyb full assemblies are available... rock auto, see below, about 540 before shipping. Four individual part #s.

Perhaps the most wrong thing i've ever seen posted on this website.

I have an 06 camry. Just a heads up, the KYB strut assemblies will ride stiffer than your oem strut/spring combo. The toyota OE struts are not much more and ride way better IMO.

Maybe, maybe not. On SteveSRT8's advice I tried Gabriel Ultra's on the back of my Honda Pilot. It's only 12,000 miles later, but I'm impressed with the ride and handling. I've also been hearing unhappy things about Monroe and KYB, but not across the board. So now I'm prepared to reconsider my 1980's notion that "Gabriels are junk".

Unless you're talking about EBAY. I'm not too keen on buying heavy shipping cost items off of EBAY, in case I need to return them, it can get pricey.

Now that's useful information.

Perhaps the most ignorant comment ever posted on this website?

You are entitled to an opinion, but dozens here have used the product and they are GREAT. So explain to all of us how your immense personal knowledge of Gabriel's Ultra shocks supersedes our personal experiences with them?
