The clearances, torque values and procedure sequences in this 1989 Toyota Celica factory service and repair manual are the ones Toyota published for this exact model year and for its 2.0L DOHC four-cylinder (3S-FE), rather than figures carried over from an adjacent year of the same body. Trim-specific differences across the ST, GT, GT-S and All-Trac cars are called out where the specification actually changes.

Known issues on the 1989 Celica. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it sits in the suspension. Ride Control recalled certain front strut mounts branded as Gabriel Ride Control or ArvinMeritor, part numbers 142435, 142193, 142305 and 142303, sold as replacement equipment for these vehicles; the absence of the weld can allow the strut to come out of its mounting position. Owners have filed 16 complaints against the 1989 Celica, and 7 technical service bulletins are on record.
Whether you are chasing a front strut mount that will not stay seated, tracing a noise back to its source or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1989 Celica.
