As a general rule, I HIGHLY recommend replacing hatch struts in pairs, and not mixing an old and a new strut. If the used one is not performing up to par (which is often the case), it makes the new one do most of the work, causing that one to weaken (if not fail) prematurely. So you end up in a viscous cycle, replacing one strut at a time much more frequently than if you simply replaced both at once. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
