Hi guys, I'm new here. Currently I just purchased a 1992 Camry LE. Currently all four shocks of the car are worn out quite badly. It's quite scary driving the car now with this worn out suspension.
I'm looking to purchase an aftermarket shocks with some lowering springs. I just want to lower it a little bit, nothing crazy. 1.5" drop is the most I would do. The problem is that I'm not sure if the struts that I have currently is sealed or non sealed. Few stores around here told me that I need to find out which type of shocks that I have on my car currently because both types aren't interchangable.
I never own a Camry before & I never know what's really the difference between the sealed & non sealed shocks. I went to few Toyota parts dealer around here & none of them know what I was talking about. They're all said that there is only one type of shocks for my Camry.
Is it possible for me to find out which type of shocks by my VIN number? Or do I need to open the whole suspension to find out which type of shock do I have currently on my car?
Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate your help
