Very old thread revived by Rich K. Moved from OT.

I think that I may have posted this in another thread a few weeks back, but I had been hearing this clunking/rattling noise coming from the back of my trunk for the past thousand miles or so. It's been really pissing me off b/c everytime I would go over a bump, I'd hear the noise. My first reaction was to check to see what was loose in the trunk, and there wasn't anything in there. I checked the spare tire jack and made sure it was secure. I secured the rod that you stick into the jack. I screwed down the spare tire extra tight to be safe. Still heard the noise. So I completely removed the jack and the rod. Still hear the noise. I've tried locking the rear seats and riding with them up and down. Still heard the noise.
Well, I finally got fed up and took it to the Toyota dealer and told them what problems I was having. They said that they would take it in the back and look over it. 'bout 30 mins later they come back and basically say "Mr. Hill, your struts and mounts are TOTALLY screwed, you need them replaced RIGHT AWAY...oh by the the way, that's gonna run you $700"
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!! HELL FUGGIN' NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got on the phone and started calling junk yards and found one nearby that has the whole strut/support apparatus for $75 per side. I then went to Autozone and picked up a '92-'96 Camry Haynes Repair Manual. So Monday, I'm gonna go pickup the parts and my dad and I are gonna rip out the rear seat and replace the struts.
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!??????? SCREW YOU GUYS!
