Time will tell that it is a mistake to replace the F-14 Tomcat with the F-18 Super Hornet as the carriers first line of defense.

the strut insert couldnt get out by any means possible therefore i call it sealed in. there was 4 flaps from the strut housing that went over the insert too.

Yes there are sealed struts that came on a sport suspension package. I have the sealed on my car. You can go to a local toyota dealership (or call the service department) and tell them your VIN and they can tell you if you have the sports package with sealed struts. I have that on my car, so I would need to get KYB GR2's with the sealed struts. All the part numbers can be found here.

I had this problem too. I have a GT and found out SS suspension on front even. So they didn't fit. Had to buy original SS shocks. A bit pricey.
