Popular models of shock absorber struts for Toyota Corolla E120: time-tested parts
You shouldn’t skimp on the quality of shock absorber struts - neglecting timely replacement or purchasing low-grade components can lead to a decrease in the strength of the car’s suspension, which can lead to an increased load on all vehicle systems.
Operating a car on damaged struts increases the vibration load of the car, resulting in the destruction of all fixing units: the threads in the nut connections are ground off and the strength qualities of the side members are reduced.

You only need to select shock absorber struts for a Toyota Corolla E120 using the vehicle’s VIN number after checking the component part numbers for compatibility on the manufacturer’s official website. Also, the products must have a quality guarantee certificate and intact, undamaged packaging. The struts for the Corolla must not only be of a compatible size, but also have optimal spring compression and overall design dimensions.
It is important to know! It is strictly not recommended to purchase shock absorber struts on the secondary market or from a car disassembly site, as there is a possibility of microdamage in the design of the part. Used shock absorbers or low-quality replicas not only do not satisfy the technical characteristics of the car, but reduce the safety of the vehicle.

Replacing front and rear struts on a Toyota Corolla 150
Before replacing faulty suspension elements, we carry out comprehensive diagnostics of the technical device to study the general condition of the machine and identify breakdowns. The procedure is simple, intuitive, and can be done by every pilot.
- Step 1: Inspect the uprights underneath the vehicle using an inspection channel/hydraulic lift. The presence of oil, play, damaged boots are the primary signs of a malfunction. Second stage: in the transport position, we swing each rack in turn. Lack of smoothness, sharp rebound, and squeaking are also signs of wear on the suspension elements.
To prevent global breakdowns, carry out a technical inspection of your car in a timely manner. The exact data for each brand is indicated in the operating instructions. For Toyota Corolla, preventive maintenance is carried out every second after 30,000 km. In exceptional situations, accidents, collisions, an inspection is carried out unscheduled, followed by replacement of worn-out components and assemblies.
Preparatory stage: purchase of new consumables, a set of auto tools, rust remover, rags, graphite-based lubricant.

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.
