replace Avalon struts advice

Recommended Posts

My 2003 Avalon rides okay on smooth roads but does not handle larger imperfections in the road very well at all. I bought the car used, it now has 67,000 miles. The suspension feels like it is "weak in the knees". I am going to replace the struts in hope of a firmer ride. Has anyone had experience with

KYB (G2), on Monroe sensatrac, or Toyota OEM replacements? Also any advice on replacing the mounts and the spring supports at the same time?

I had the front struts on my 96 Avalon 163,000k miles replaced recently and also had them replace the tower bearing while in. Just had the rears done recently and the car rides nice and firm now. All aftermarket rebuilt parts.
