Three problems related to rear suspension shock absorber have been reported for the 1998 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1. Front spring retainer collapsed into tire and shredded tire in motion, lost control, replaced shock absorber assy' 2. Rear stabilizer bar split in half, rear wheel wobbled uncontrollably condition, temporary weld, must be replaced, part available.
Shock struts failed. Yh.
A year after I purchased to Toyota Camry, the rear shock absorbants got extremely noisy and it feels like it will break any time I have to drive over a small bump. I have contacted jim coleman's Toyota in bethesda maryland when I took the car for service around 19000 miles. I was told that all Camry's have this problem and Toyota is going to make a recall and fix it. Up until today that has not happened. My warrenty rans out at 36000 miles. I currently have around 25000. So I like either Toyota or the dealer take responsibility and fix the problem. Thank you.
