Subject:      rear hatch shocks
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

The rear hatch shocks on my 87 westy gave out during my trip to Colorado.  The hatch wont fall immediately but within a couple of seconds it comes down.  Needless to say, loading the back of the vehicle has become a pain because now it requires the loader to use one arm to hold the hatch up.  Does anybody have extras on a parts vehicle or any other suggestions about how to replace these at minimal cost?

Many thanks
