Thread: Hatch lift struts?

Where do you guys get new struts from these days? Should I just pick up the ones on Amazon?

You should try pepboys my bro was gonna buy some for his 240 there but idk if there the same size they might work tho.

bump

Rockauto.com good prices

doh, I shoulda known that

I got mine at Advance Auto Parts. Only cost me $25 for the pair. They did have to order them, took a few days to get in.

I got mine from Advance also. Got em on sale though for less than $20. They were strongarm brand. Really strong. The only thing is that some modification is needed. You will have to drill and tap the bottom holes where that hinge bolts down on the bottom of the OEM lift support. The thread size you will need to step up to is M8x1.25 You will also need to get 2 of those little funky bolts like the ones that are used at the top of the OEM lift supports. These are what will be plugging those freshly tapped holes. I robbed mine off a pathfinder at a junk yard. Most of these are the same on all Nissans that I've seen.

If I had to do it over again, I would get some OEM ones from Nissan......yeh yeh, they're expensive, I know...

Really? Well, it would be much easier, lol. It's not hard at all to put in some aftermarket lift supports though. Just need the new lift supports, a M8x1.25 tap set ($2.99 @ Pep Boys), and two of those funky ball head bolts from any Nissan/Infiniti with lift supports. Real easy conversion. Easier than most other mods we already do.

Yes really^^ they look ugly.
