hi natedogg, welcome to the forum. make sure to check out theforum rules and a big rule on forums is to do a search first to find what you're saying. this stops the place from cluttering up with repeated questions and stops the 'pros' on the board from getting bored and/or annoyed. :mad:
im a little concerned that you're working on the car and can't find the strut mount. that extremely scary, actually. :eek2:
so, first, i would recommend you be very careful and follow a manual or have a buddy with expertise help you. you can get really hurt if you do it wrong. :cry:
secondly, the strut mount is visible only after you take the seat out. first the bottom part [pull up, no tools needed] then the top /seatback is removed [two bolts 12mm i think] , and then you have good enough access to the strut mount nuts. then when you take the strut suspension assembly out the mount , at the top, is removed but only with a safe, coil spring compressor on the springs and so on and so forth.
what strusts you going with? what springs? do a search, you will see what many likemyself have learned is the best parts to use [all stock, except the struts, and =depending on what youre doing - the coils]
i have done a write up or two.
the FSM [factory service manual] is on the internet , you find it you can download it for free. you might benefit from a hayne's manual or similar, too [camry].

Haha, easy Coolpass ;). Good info though. I'll try to do a DIY thread when my KYB struts and Tein springs come in to help future instances

DO NOT disasemble the strut without a spring compresor or you are going to kill yourself or lose an eye (if you are lucky).
