Hatch struts

[Jay Kempf]

I pried the poor rusted remaining hatch strut off my car today. The old
school original part complete with blue Audi rings on it was pretty well
frozen in place, which is how the ball stud broke off the other side. I have
a ball stud to weld back on on the other side and am preparing to do that. 

All modern cars have hatch struts with plastic ball socket ends. The ones
that were on this car from the factory were metal ends. The space is
limited. Has anyone put more modern plastic ended struts on the back of the
avant? And if so what part number did you use and did they fit and where did
you get them?
