  1. I need just the plastic shell for my key fob. The top tab broke off and I can only find full transmitters ($40-60) or shells for the "all in one" style key fob with intergrated key. Where can I get just the shell with no guts? I tried a toyota fob, but the thickness of the shells is different. Thanks!
  2. OK - I did do a more refined search and found someone on this board that got the 171 series for the Camary and had no issues. I think that the 171 series is an older series (harder to find) and the 271 is the newer series because it is coming up as the "generic" part number for the no name or house brand of shocks. The more I think about it, the $80 difference for KNOWING I got the right part has convinced me. Thanks for the replies! Joe
  3. Question abut the quick strut assemblies for rear shocks- Monroe lists the part number(s) for 99 ES300- 271681 271680 A search at Amazon shows these part numbers as 99 ES300 compatable- 171681 171680 The 171 series of parts runs $20 cheaper than the 271 series at rockauto Monroe online catalog shows on part detail page that the 271681 is compatable with 99 V6 Camary and 99 ES300. The 171681 is compatable with 99 Camary and 99 Solara. Side by side spec sheets show parts have the the same body type (B10), overall length, compressed and extended lengths, and travel lengths. The parts pack is the same (P808) on both parts. Is there really a difference? I read somewhere that there is a weight/load difference between the ES and the Camary and that interchanging suspension parts could lead to ride height issues. I'm afraid that the difference might be something as useful as a brake line clip or mounting point. I also see many "no name" brands (Leacree, StrutTEK) at nearly half the cost. I did see on a Camary board where there were some problems with the durability of these and wear issues at the mounting points, so I have eliminated those choices. I did a search on this and came up empty. Anyone have experience with either of these? Thanks!
  4. Having a bit of trouble removing the old spring, just curious if there is a "trick" I am overlooking...
  5. New member here- Found my spring clip for opening the fuel door had broken. Tried a few searches on the forums but nothing. Are there instructions on removing the fuel door and replacing the spring somewhere? Thanks! JBE85234
