My celica rattles badly like bad rear struts, they were replaced a year ago and we ended up going to a junk yard after going thru all the parts stores and got the same resistance on other original struts, it is a gt and this rattling is driving us nuts any ideas?

I'm not sure what you are asking us. If you already know the junkyard struts you put in turned out to be just that, then you already know what you need to do. Don't go the junk route this time.

None of the parts or dealers had a strut spring set up that was different than that which we had or that which we got at the junk yard, the problem is either the parts were wrong on the original and the one in the junk yard and the set ups from the part store were even looser it just isn't right, found something on line called a super strut but no parts store has it and it was mentioned only as an item someone trying to sell a car

You don't determine the condition of a strut by the amount of resistance to move the piston. There is nothing wrong with the new ones.
