The auction says it comes with two "rebuilder front struts", what do they mean by that? It says the rear ones are complete though. -Matt EDIT: I think these are also called inserts. What is the difference between these and a complete strut? This post has been edited by GotToyota: Nov 13, 2007 - 10:42 PM |

yes they are inserts, if you have non-sealed or non-sports suspension then you can use those. complete strut has the insert inside sealed already.

it means you rebuild you stock strut with a new insert. Nothing more.

You can go to the dealer and have them run your vin number. As them if your car came with the sport suspension.

or you can lift the boot and see if there is a huge bolt in the shock
 the one on the left is a sealed KYB, the one on the right is rebuildable. more hassle, i replaced all....

Yeah or that, but if the struts are still on the car you can't just lift the boots, you'd have to take the struts out.
