The 2007 to 2011 Camry uses MacPherson struts up front, each clamping the knuckle in a two bolt clevis above an L shaped lower control arm with a bolted on ball joint. Long sway bar links rise to the struts, and the steering rack sits behind the front axle. The rear is a dual link strut design: two lateral arms and a trailing arm locate each rear knuckle, and a coil over strut stands on top of it.
We carry replacement parts for 38 of the 43 components on this diagram, 165 parts in all. See every part for the 2007 Toyota Camry.

Front Suspension
1 Front Lower Control Arm (driver and passenger side)
A pressed steel L shaped arm. The ball joint bolts to a flange at its outer end, a short front leg pivots on a bushing at the subframe, and a long curved rear leg ends in an upright bushing under the subframe's rear corner.
Signs of wear: Clunks over bumps or under braking, wandering on the highway, or cracked bushings.
Tip: Left and right arms are different parts. Japan built cars (VIN starting with J) take their own part numbers for this part. Check the fit notes against your VIN.
2 Front Lower Control Arm Front Bushing (driver and passenger side)
The bushing in the arm's short front leg, on a bolt that runs front to back at the subframe.
Signs of wear: A clunk when pulling away or braking, or rubber that is torn.
Tip: Polyurethane sets replace both inner bushings of the arm.
See all Front Control Arm Bushings parts for the 2007 Toyota Camry
3 Front Lower Control Arm Rear Bushing (driver and passenger side)
The large upright bushing at the end of the arm's long rear leg, held by a bracket that bolts up into the subframe.
Signs of wear: Shimmy under braking, a clunk over bumps, or rubber that has split.
Tip: This bushing wears more often than any other part of the front arm. Offset versions add caster.
See all Front Control Arm Bushings parts for the 2007 Toyota Camry
4 Front Lower Ball Joint (driver and passenger side)
The ball joint bolts to the outer end of the lower arm with one bolt and two nuts. Its stud points up into the bottom of the knuckle and is held by a castle nut.
Signs of wear: A clunk over bumps, play when the wheel is rocked top to bottom, or a torn boot leaking grease.
Tip: Left and right joints differ in shape. 2011 cars built from March to July 2011 were recalled for this joint's boot.
See all Front Lower Ball Joint parts for the 2007 Toyota Camry
5 Front Steering Knuckle (driver and passenger side)
The cast knuckle carries the wheel bearing and hub. Its top sits in the strut's two bolt clevis, the ball joint stud goes into its bottom, and the tie rod joins its steering arm behind the axle.
Signs of wear: A bent knuckle after a curb strike pulls the car to one side.
Tip: Complete knuckle assemblies come with the bearing and hub already pressed in. They are listed by engine (Hybrid or V6).

Questions about the 2007 Toyota Camry suspension
What wears out most often on a 2007 Camry suspension?
Sway bar links, the upright rear bushing of the front lower control arm, struts and strut mounts are the usual ones. A rattle over small bumps is most often a link.
Does it matter where my Camry was built?
For some parts, yes. Cars built in Japan (the VIN starts with J) take their own front lower control arms, inner tie rods, rear trailing arm and some bushings. Cars built in the United States start with 4. Check the fit notes on each part against your VIN.
Does the 2007 Camry have upper control arms?
No. Both ends are strut designs. Each front corner has one lower control arm and a lower ball joint, and each rear corner has two lateral arms and a trailing arm.
Do I need an alignment after replacing these parts?
Yes, after tie rods, control arms, struts or rear arms. Front toe is set at the tie rods and rear toe at the sleeve in the rear lower rearward arm. Cam bolts at the strut clevis let you correct camber.
Which years share this suspension?
The 2007 to 2011 Camry, including the 2010 update and the Hybrid, uses this layout, and nearly every part we list carries over from one year to the next. The Hybrid has its own inner tie rods, rack boots and knuckles, and the V6 has its own front springs and complete struts.
