Hi Sig Yes, I would like to know the answer to this one too before ordering the Bilstein Sport shocks. Is there any owners out there with '98+ RAVs that have changed out their shocks/springs? :?:
I recently got these Dobinsons sealed struts installed on my RAV. They fit all 4.1 and 4.2 RAVs. We will be selling these soon from our online shop. Still waiting on pricing but it shouldnt be too much longer.
Mohit, from what I can tell from the picture of the Dobinson's; a sealed strut is one that has the shock "sealed" into the main housing that holds the spring perch? And a non-sealed ('96 - '97 RAVs) one; the shocks can be removed and replaced into the factory housings? :?:
Does anybody know whether the Bilstein Sport shocks are of the sealed or non-sealed variety? Just want to know for sure before spending the $$$$ on them. :lol:
I wonder if the only difference between a sealed and non sealed strut for the 4.1 RAV is just that... that one is sealed and one is not. Otherwise they're the same... same dimension etc.
If that's the case, one could just go to a junk yard and buy some non-sealed struts then buy any insert you wanted and install that without any problems.
