Hello,
I have a 87 Camry 2.0 5 speed and the rear of the car is sagging down quite low. I have replaced the shocks they are new and working fine. I am thinking the problem here is the coil springs are sagging down low with the age of the car and perhaps this is a problem with this car please advise me with this question? I would like to know why/what is causing this and how to fix the problem. If indeed it is the coil springs then please advise me if its worth the effort and money of changing out and putting new coil springs on the car it has 170k on it. I think that it would be quite risky to change the coil springs in my car due to age, rust, rust on bolts back there, and taking apart so much of the car in the rear. Again I don't know that is why I am here asking so please advise me here as I am sure there is others on here who have had the same problem with the back of the car sagging low. Thanks for your help in advising me here as to what the problem is and what to do to fix the problem.

If the shocks were replaced, the springs needed to be removed to do it. Changing the springs is a matter of doing the job over again but this time replacing the springs instead.

 

Hello there,
Thanks for responding back how difficult is this job on scale of 1-10? I ask this because I don't have a mechanic I trust or think could do the job as the old mechanic died. I would do it myself but have never done this before and don't think I have the skill level to do such a big job but perhaps you tell me. Also will the coil springs really make the car sink so low? Do you know of a website with how to instructions on how to do this job step by step? Perhaps if I had that I could attempt this job please advise me thanks.
