I've got a blown strut on the driver's side rear, I just bought the car and the suspension was changed to lift the vehicle. I'm trying to find out what to replace it with I was able to find a sticker on the strut but I'm not sure who makes it, any feedback would be great.

just out of curiosity, do you have a picture of the car? or maybe the strut itself?

I will upload one in a little bit im heading over to the car in an hour or two. This is the car. This is the side that's blown.

These are the struts 

Hmm having trouble uploading photos for some reason.

Generally, these are lifted by adding a spacer to the top or bottom of the factory strut. Occasionally, people have used a stiffer spring. But good chance that if you get new EA82 4WD struts, and reuse your springs, you'll be pretty close to where you started.

so funny story, I'm pretty sure I lifted that one.

 

 

 

is hard to tell from your pic, but im pretty sure that rear door dent is the same,

if it is the same wagon, i put 1993 toyota 4 runner front struts, with honda accord front springs in the rear to lift it.

It does look like the same one, I'll try to find the same struts to replace the one that's blown I like the lift as is! I'm hoping the spring is still ok and I can just replace the strut. On a side note do you know how time consuming servicing the parking brake is? Also it's got 14 in 4x140 wheels on it now I definently want to put some bigger tires on it

So for the parking brake, make sure your front pads don't need replacement first. If they do then adjusting it won't make a difference. There is a small panel between the 4wd shifter and the ebarke handle if you pop that up there's an adjuster underneath

Any idea where I can buy just the strut? I'm finding strut assembly's but no luck so far on just the strut. Also I'm having trouble shifting the car into reverse some times I have to go from 1st to reverse to get it to engage any sugestions?

Why can’t you find it?  Rockauto. Advance. 
napa. call and ask or stop in if you can’t find it on their website. Toyota dealer might even help

Well I wasn't 100% till you mentioned the reverse thing. Yeah idk why it does that. Did it the whole time I had it. Sometimes reverse just wasn't there. Oriellys has those struts in stock. Sorry I think I said they were 93, it's 98

Idosubaru thanks for the help, I should have been more specific on the strut I was looking for.
