G'day!

Ive got a TP wagon and the gas struts in the hatch are dead and wont hold it up anymore. How much should it cost to get them recharged? Or would it be cheaper to get new ones/find some at a wreckers?

Thanx!

hey

if ya gonna just replace the back ones you might as well replace the front cos theyll need doing most likly and the car wont be so uneaven

its probally not best to get one from a wreckers as cos of there age they would probally be same unless u get ones that where near new that was replaced

i ended up just replacing mine as really its not much difference in price to get cheap new ones or regas the only ones
