[s-cars] Speaking of Tail

[mtgadbois at aol.com]

FYI,



It just so happens that I too got tired of lifting a heavy 

trunk lid, although mine is on a sedan.  I ordered my struts 

from AutohausAZ.  $75 including shipping.  They work just great.  The blue 

lettering on them makes me think they were made by the oem supplier.

I ordered a set of these in the fall from same seller.  So far, they work,

but don't provide incredibly strong lifting power.  Better than the 15 year

old originals though.



YMMV

gates.



Since my tailgate struts work but are weak, I got some from Latvia for about

$48 delivered.

IIRC I offered him $23 and he accepted that... +$25 shipping.

Do they / will they work?  Dunno, but from Latvia of Italian sounding

manufacturer, they must be good.

I think oem type leggitt ones are about $100?

I also think Matt Russell may be using a set of these?
