Bought 'Bilsteins' are they actually billies?

[nickg07]

Hi, so I bought a set of used billies from ebay, however, upon checking the rear struts, I cant make out a bilstein sticker and it has TOYOTA embossed into the strut casing, is this still a bilstein?



Also did a quick bounce test out the back and turned the fronts upside down and pushed down on them, on the return they make a slight sucking noise, is this right?

Im a noob can anyone help?

Do they have a big hexagonal nut where the shaft meets the strut or is it just a smooth end?

i they look like this. Unfortunately I've left them at my parents so don't have them to hand

Billies aren't rebuildable(well not eonomically) and don't have the nut.
