Hatch Lift Support...to OEM or not to OEM

[octanejunkie]

To clarify, that 50 bucks each.

I was quoted much more than that years ago which is why I went aftermarket DYI, but yes, the Toyota option is 100% bolt on

Can you share the PNs for the membership?

OEM's come with brackets already attached. All you need to do is unbolt the old and bolt on the new. For around 50 bucks plus shipping from an online Toyota dealer.

Thanks! Does it include the brackets on both ends of each strut?

They did when I looked them up a few years ago. They are bolt on.

The OEMs have come down in price. I seem to recall them being at least $160 each in 2013.

$47-ish at dealer
$57 on Amazon


I prefer my strong arm for $34 (w free shipping) and DIY bushings for $5.lol

Aftermarket with good reviews works as good as the OEM.
