AE86 rear hatch gas struts Sat, 10 August 2002 23:47 Go to previous message
Hello gents,

One of the very minor things about my car that is starting to really shit me is the fact that the rear gas struts no longer have the gusto to hold the hatch up (Im forced to use an old broom handle often).

I have talked top the guys at Repco and Auto 1 and of course there is no specific replacement for the AE86 but I suspect that the strut used may be in common with another Toyota model does anyone know? Or has anyone replaced these struts?

They look like they just pop-off a ball clip that is bolted into the body of the car! I have also heard that you can re-gas your factory struts........has anyone done this and is it a cheaper option?

Thanks.
