Hatchback lift ARM Struts

Pretty straight forward. install. 14mm and 12mm needed to remove the OE struts (13mm needed for the aftermarket ball end). The only tricky part if you're not familiar is the retaining clip on the new part (ball end). Just remove it before install to see how it is installed on the ball end. My OE ones worked but were leaking. These worked great with no modifications. Pay attention to the offsets on the struts when connecting to the body end.

@Steady How are your Monroe 900087 hatch struts working, 15 months later? Also, I'd be very interested to know if yours are doing the same thing that the Strongarm struts are doing: others seem to complain that the Strongarm struts speed up as the reaches the top to the point that the hatch apparently bounces. If the Monroes don't do that, I may go with the Monroes. Finally, did the plastic moulding cap fit back on?

Thanks for your input!

The hatch struts are still working.
I never had the hatch speed up/ bounce issue.
The caps were reinstalled.
