Lightbulb ASE certified technician..

Hi , folks:
I am new to this forum but not new to Toyotas
In the past I used to work in a small shop as an automotive electrical tech and general repair mechanic
I cannot be very helpful for late model Camries, however as a co-owner of 87 Camry, I can probably share my DIY experience with generation 2 Camry owners.
These who are interested can read my posts on Toyota Nation's Generation 2 Camry forum.
I am lookng forward to be helpful here too!
Regards, Dr.J
Former ASE technician

I am living in greater Long Beach area.
I did only one repalcement of fire-damaged engine harness of 89 celica.
The strut should be replaced with protective bellows as they saving the strut rod from scratches. The struts are gas filled, so even minor scratches on the rod can cause gas to escape. have the boots installed
On older cars with omly oil-filled struts the boots are not critical.
