About 1987 Toyota Camry Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Camry tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Camry tires online.

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Camry’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Camry car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time.

1987 Toyota Camry Oil Change Q&A

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Camry to illuminate?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Camry oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Camry spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 1987 Toyota Camry

1987 Camry Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

During the first few years you had your 1987 Toyota Camry, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Camry feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Toyota Camry, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Camry suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

1987 Toyota Camry Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota Camry to have a bouncy ride?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Camry to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Camry to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

1987 Toyota Camry A/C Service Near You

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 1987 Toyota Camry A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1987 Toyota Camry’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any).

Let's say we repair your 1987 Toyota Camry A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge.

1987 Toyota Camry A/C System FAQs

  • Why is my Camry A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Camry’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my Camry’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Camry may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

1987 Toyota Camry Transmission Q&A

  • When should I have my Camry's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Toyota Camry transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Camry?  Yes. Toyota Camry transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Is it okay to drive a Camry with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Camry with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

Questions About Toyota Camry Radiators

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Camry overheating?  Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Toyota Camry engine to overheat.
  • Why does the radiator in my Camry sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? There could be air pockets in your Camry’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
