Default rear hatch struts
Anyone know a good place to get replacement struts for the rear hatch?
This is a 94 country. Does autozone have a good replacement, or are they like most of the rest of AZ,s stuff, just barely above junk?

Go to amazon.com and look up strongarm struts and do a vehicle search. These struts are easy replacement and work great

Ah yes, need to replace mine as well. I'm sick of holding the tailgate up with my head or it slamming down on my back.
