im also interested in this, mine are farked!
ok, the gas has gone on my hatch, and wont stay up by itself..... annoying.
but i called toyota parts and apparantly they dont make that part anymore....... more annoying
is there a generic part i can get? like a universal strut from a camping shop?
or does a later model toyota part fit on?
or does anyone know where in sydney you can get them regassed. i heard its never as good as getting new ones though
Go into Autobarn or Repco
Take on of your existing struts in
Ask for something similar in size
They will check thru all the Ford/Holden/Mitsu/Toyota ones and with any luck, come out to greet you with a new pair of struts
Back when I got my first car (Datsun Sunny) the struts were fucked
I think I got some Falcon ones and they were still going strong 10 years later
Carry a timber plank in your boot and use it to hold the boot up ^^
Otherwise take it to a reconditioning shop. Cost me $60 to recondition both from a place in shop in Slacks Creek, QLD.
carrying a old panhard rod
I use a ski pole.
Half a broom handle. Helps to beat away douchebags too.
But yeah, might see about getting new ones. Mine are shite.
there are plenty of dedicated strut re-gassing dudes around
strut regas ftw!
seriously worth it
