Replacing rear hatch lifts
 

Damn folks. It looks like I need to remove alot of interior panels back there to remove the existing toasted hydraulic lifts. Is this true? Anyone got some pointers? Thanks!

Just purchased last week.

Those supports can now be bought aftermarket, ready to use, I've heard. 4 yrs ago, I had to use some 'similar' ones from Pepboys, $60 pr., and drill off the brackets, and use bolts to hold them to the new ones.

You can pop loose the interior trim pieces and reach in with a 1/4" dr ratchet and socket to remove the nuts. DON'T drop them !!

You can get them trunk and hood ones from Autozone for 20$ a piece.

I already got-emDid the front hood ones, Just lookin for pointers on replacing the rear ones. A bunch of interior panels gotta come out it seems, to at least undo the original ones. New ones use a different mount, kinda like the fronts, but work great.

you need more offset and suspension.
