Toyota Repair: Camry suspension, strut mounts, minimum expense


Question
I have looked at a 1995 Camry with 105K miles that is very mushy ride.  
Bounces easily when pushed down on the back.  Is the suspension a weak
point for camrys?  Should all (4) shocks/struts be replaced?  Want to get by
with minimum expense as this is for my Granddaughter but want it to be save.  

Answer
If it feels bouncy then it's a good indication that the struts should be replaced which is not uncommon at this mileage,replace all four, I would also highly recommend that the upper strut mounts on the front are replaced as well, they are known to wear and cause front end noise.
