Aside from the spring and strut, here is the list of components that I'm thinking of replacing

48603/48609 (top mount)
90903-63014 x2 (bearings)
48471B/C (reusable?) - Is this just a metal plate?
48157B/C (upper spring insulator/bellow)
48331B/C (bump stop)
48158B/C (lower spring insulator)

Am I correct? I'm a bit confused, because KYB strut mounts look different from Toyota.

 

Definitely reusable, unless it's rusted badly or something.

 

Thank you very much

 

Hey Mr. Booby - could you please give me a link to that area on Sewell? I muttled my way to their parts catalog, but the diagrams I see are nowhere near as nice as that one - and I was just looking at the identical rear suspension diagram @Sewell, but mine didn't have the PNC's and it wasn;t as detailed... Thanks!

BTW - I do believe that is the rear suspension you're looking at here

 

No, that's the front suspension in the image above. You'll notice that the front suspension has a bearing, while the rear does not. Also the rear struts have the strut mount integrated with the rubber boot.

Rear Suspension

 

I guess I was confused because your rear suspension link looks like it has the steering knucle in it, whereas the front suspension link didn't show it - but I see now they broke it into two diagrams for the front. Plus, on my '96 the long end links are for the rear and the front has short end links - your 98 looks to be a different beast.

 

It seems like Sewell are missing a lot of the 2ES diagrams, sorry about that.

 

Go to toyo-diy they still have diagrams...
