Servicable or non servicable struts?

Ive got differing opinions all over the place, Some say sealed some say not. What are your guys opinion on this. Any part numbers or cross platform applications that i can use such as the 97+ camry struts?
My car is a 96 v6 camry. Thanks again.

Going by the year ('96) of the car, it should be sealed. Howwever, thre have been cases where that's not the case. Having said that, the hexegonal nut suggests it's a servicable strut.

disclaimer: don't sue me if I'm wrong. I've been known to be a complete idiot. If you're aprehensive, have a shop order them and drop the ball on their court if it's the wrong one.
