There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

Looks like a bottom rubber spring insulator would be needed.

See that confuses me.. They have struts? Are they struts without springs?

Edit: Nevermind, they are indeed struts without springs.

Yes, just like the pic you posted.

The manager at my taco place I go to on Tuesday and Thursday, told me her mother's 03 Camry SE 3.0 would not idle right and would die in gear at idle intermittently. I went to check for CEL and there was none but I could duplicate her concerns. I opened the hood and saw the problem immediately. A brand new battery just installed about a week ago. She hardly ever drives the car. I changed the scanner to live data and the short trims were way negative and showed no readings at all on long trims. I knew it was gonna need a reset on the ECU. I got the engine completely warmed up, set the park brake and put my foot on the brake and put it in drive and sat there for about 6 minutes. At first the rpm's were below 400 and acted like wanted to die and tach needle was floating a little. Then it started to climb and settled at close to 700 rpm. After 6 minutes I took it on a 40 mile round trip. The fuel trims went to spot on and the rpm's were between 680 and 700, stopped in gear at lights. I parked it and handed the keys to the mom. I will be getting free tacos for several days now.

Fair trade.

Depends on how the "taco" tastes

I get the double entendre here. Great tacos that actually fill the large shell and lots of tomatoes and she is a sweetheart and have known her for years. I work on her Toyota 4Runner, her husband's Chevy truck and her son's Mazda 2007 Mazda 3 Sport. Plus her mother's 2003 Camry SE and she sends work my way from any of her customer's that come in. If I do 1/2 hour's work for her for $40, that equates to 5 taco meals but her cost for the meals is way less than the $40. It is a win win. All I ever get is 3 tacos and either a cup of coffee or Pepsi. That is an $8.00 meal.
