Rear Shock Absorbers

[gav_logan]

Hey all, when trying to find rear shock absorbers for my car, everywhere I've called has had to tell me I need to take it in to get checked out, as there are two different types that come with a 93 es300.

Can anyone tell me how to check this myself?

yes, there are serviceable (not sealed) and non serviceable (sealed). as to how to tell the difference...im not entirely sure on lexus. however, if it were another car, (a domestic) i could tell you.

beyond that i can only tell you, the sealed ones you throw away and replace, and the non sealed ones you can just have fixed most of the time.

Yup there's the serviceable, nonservicable and the electronically adjustable. They're made by a few vendors but tokico and kyb are prominent. Try the pinned faqs for more info

for your year and part of the world

the 2 types are going to be adjustable and non

check the price to determine which is which.

Different years are either sealed or sleeved/inserts

Yeah, they were the sealed ones.

I ended up opting for getting a shop to do it. I was running out of time, and couldn't stand the spongey ride any longer.
