The typical all-in cost to replace the front struts on a 2019 Camry is about $600 to $1,400 for a pair, depending on parts and labor. Replacing all four corners (front struts and rear shocks) generally runs roughly $900 to $2,200, with variations based on part choice and local labor rates.
What goes into the price
The following figures provide a practical budgeting guide for most U.S. repair shops as of 2026. They reflect common scenarios in which a shop uses either aftermarket or OEM parts and charges standard labor rates. Prices can vary by region, shop, and whether additional parts (like mounts or bearings) or an alignment are required.
- Parts (front strut assemblies, pair): aftermarket typically $300–$700; OEM/Toyota parts commonly $600–$1,000.
- Labor (front struts replacement for both sides): roughly 2–4 hours at $100–$150 per hour, about $200–$600.
- Alignment: usually $75–$120 after any suspension work that affects geometry.
These figures illustrate the typical components of a front-strut replacement budget. Your exact bill will depend on the brand of parts you choose and the shop’s labor rate.
Cost breakdown by scenario
Front struts replacement (two front assemblies)
Below is a practical breakdown for replacing only the front pair. This is the most common interpretation of “changing the struts” on a Camry.
- Parts (front strut assemblies, pair): aftermarket $300–$700; OEM/Toyota $600–$1,000.
- Labor: $200–$600 (approx. 2–4 hours).
- Alignment: $75–$120.
Bottom line: expect roughly $575–$1,420 with aftermarket parts, or about $875–$1,720 with OEM parts, including alignment.
All four corners (front struts + rear shocks)
If you replace both front struts and both rear shocks, budgeting for the full four-corner job gives a broader picture of total costs.
- Parts (front pair + rear pair): front $300–$700, rear $150–$400 (aftermarket); or front $600–$1,000, rear $300–$600 (OEM).
- Labor: front $200–$600, rear $100–$450 (total $300–$1,050).
- Alignment: $75–$120 (often required after suspension work).
Bottom line: all four corners with aftermarket parts typically run about $825–$2,270; with OEM parts, roughly $1,275–$2,620, including alignment.
What can affect the final price
Several factors can push the bill higher or lower than the ranges above. These include choosing OEM versus aftermarket parts, regional labor rates, whether additional parts (mounts, bearings, or springs) are worn and must be replaced, and whether an alignment is performed at the same time.
Quality of parts
OEM/Toyota parts generally cost more than aftermarket equivalents but may offer longer warranty coverage and closer fit. Aftermarket options vary widely in price and quality.
Labor rates and time
Labor is the most variable component. Urban areas or boutique shops may charge more per hour, and if the technician encounters rusted bolts or damaged mounts, time can extend significantly.
Additional repairs
If mounts, bearings, or sway-bar links are worn, shops may quote extra for those parts and labor. In some cases, replacing these while you’re at it saves future labor on a second visit.
How to save and what to ask
Get multiple quotes, ask for a written estimate that itemizes parts and labor, and inquire about warranties on both parts and labor. If you’re comfortable with it, you can opt for aftermarket parts and a local shop with strong customer reviews to reduce costs. Some consumers also bundle a wheel alignment with suspension work to avoid a separate appointment.
Summary
For a 2019 Toyota Camry, replacing the front struts typically costs around $600–$1,400 for the pair, depending on part choice and labor. Replacing all four corners (front struts plus rear shocks) commonly ranges from about $900–$2,200 with aftermarket parts, or roughly $1,275–$2,620 with OEM parts. Always factor in alignment and potential extra parts, and obtain multiple quotes to lock in the best price.
Summary: Budget guidance, variances by parts choice and shop, and the importance of alignment and potential related components when planning a strut replacement on a 2019 Camry.
