Don't flame me, it's for my female cousins car. She was quoted $900 to replace her front and rear struts! I told her thats a rip. I just need to know if anyone knows the diameter of the springs on the 96 Camry, as my spring compressors will only work on up to a 6" diameter spring.

Thanks,
Tony

 

spring diameter has nothing to do with it

My Snap On compressors have the same language some of those links you provided have, "Not for use on GM blah blah, and spring diameters over 6" That's why I want to make sure, having a spring go loose on you is NOT pretty!

Some great links in there though, thanks!
