Rules to remember

Let's start with the first rule - these spare parts must be replaced in pairs. That is, if the right front strut fails, then you need to replace not only it, but also the left one, even if it is in good condition. This is because the car must have equal rigidity on both sides. The same applies to the rear struts - we change both, otherwise the car will not hold the road well, even after going through the wheel alignment procedure. And also replacing both parts will make your life easier, since the part that is not replaced will still fail and you will have to repeat all the procedures again.

The second rule applies to people who like to experiment. Let’s say right away that replacing the struts with new ones using different manufacturers or using struts of different stiffness (one in front, another in the back) is categorically not recommended. Your Toyota Corolla Fielder will be unstable and it will be a huge inconvenience for you to drive.

The main reasons for the failure of car struts

Shock absorbers are suspension elements - this applies to any car. As everyone knows, the main reasons for the failure of struts is careless operation of the car. This includes the inexperience of the driver sitting behind the wheel and collecting all kinds of holes, stones and other obstacles in the way of the car, as well as the quality of domestic roads.

Gradually, shock absorbers exhaust their working life. Even if the driver is experienced, skillfully avoids obstacles, and carefully operates the car on the roads, he physically cannot avoid driving on broken domestic roads.

Over time, they begin to leak, knock on bad roads and eventually become completely unusable. Failed parts cause the car to lose control, have poor road holding when cornering, and skid easily. So, when the rack has become completely unusable, it is worth replacing. And here, when it comes to replacing the racks, it’s worth immediately understanding a few important rules.

Which struts to choose for a Toyota Corolla?

When choosing struts for a Corolla, you need to take into account the country of manufacture of the car, and also pay attention to the series of shock absorbers (like Kayaba). The most often preferred from companies: Sachs, Kayaba, Monroe. Among the reviews from car owners, Kayaba racks are the most popular. When selecting shock absorbers, it should be taken into account that Corollas supplied to Russia are equipped with gas-oil struts designated for bad roads. The struts that are purchased in Europe are much softer and, accordingly, it is much easier to break through them, their breakdown force is less than that of native PPDs, and motorists do not recommend installing oil struts due to the short travel of the suspension, as a result of which the car sways strongly on them. In addition, the springs are installed on the car not for oil shock absorbers, so you will have to change the springs along with the shock absorbers, and this is an additional expense. It is also not recommended to install gas ones, firstly they are more expensive and secondly they have a high internal gas pressure of about 60 atm. (for gas-oil ones approximately from 5 to 20 atm). Gas ones are less common, mainly oil and gas-oil ones with the so-called gas pressure are used, they have two working elements, oil and gas, gas under pressure is needed to counteract the foaming of the oil during operation.

When you need to change struts on a Corolla E120: be on the lookout!

The car service book recommends replacing struts every 50-60,000 km or after 5 years of use. When operating a vehicle on dirt roads or problem areas, installation of new components may be required earlier - in order to reduce the likelihood of vehicle suspension failure, it is necessary to regularly inspect the struts for damage.


The main signs requiring replacement of components are:

  • Traces or obvious leaks of oil;
  • Presence of cracks on the glass;
  • The appearance of extraneous noise during operation.

The best way to check the struts is a test drive - at low speed you need to drive the car through several sharp turns. If there are extraneous sounds or if the car rocks in different directions, the racks will have to be changed: properly functioning components should dampen the rocking of the car after the first roll towards the turn.

Note! Shock absorbers on a car must be replaced only in pairs - installation of components of different brands or models with different levels of wear is not allowed. When replacing only a damaged shock absorber, the stiffness of the vehicle's suspension is lost, as a result of which the vehicle may lose control at cruising speed or roll over when entering a turn.

It is also not recommended to buy racks of different rigidity and design solutions - the Corolla does not tolerate experiments with the body, and when replaced, the comfort and maneuverability of the vehicle will be lost. The optimal choice would be to purchase models recommended by official Toyota dealers that meet the required rigidity parameters.
