Is that a Yaris? Almost looks like a Scion Xd or something else?

I installed my 94s yesterday. Took literally 60 seconds each, most of which was spent trying to pry the original clips off the stock shocks so I can remove them. These new ones just pop on, easiest thing ever!

Can anyone give me the sellers that you uses from EBay cause i ordered a set from makarios RV and the shipment is still pending and I need to send to PR ASAP. Or if someone knows the part number that will help.

The 90lb Ebay shocks work perfectly. When I get to my computer I'll take a look and see if I can get the sellers info.

I ordered the makarios one from AP Products and they fit but don't close hatch. Anyone have the link to the eBay ones. I have searched all over eBay and can't find. I need to send some ASAP, or a part number from Toyota.

[QUOTE=CTScott;609075]What do you mean by "don't close hatch"?
I ordered the ones that were thought to fit from makarios and they strut itself is about .5 inches longer than oem one and when u try to close the tailgate only goes down about 3/4 but wont fully close all way down. |

Success story: I own a 2008 Yaris 3-door hatchback. This morning, I replaced the hatch struts. It was a simple job and the new struts fit perfectly and work fine. It was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit outside when I installed them.
Brand Name: Columbia Struts Columbia Part Number: CS1720-90 Rod & Tube Size: 8MM x 18MM Extended Length: 17.20 inches Minimum Stroke: 7 inches Force in Pounds: 90 lb Purchased from: "strut-your-stuff-here" on EBay Price for two struts, including shipping: $35.88 My thanks to CTScott and everybody else who wrote about their experience with hatchback struts. Your advice saved me the cost of buying the struts from the dealer. |

This happens with my hatch too. I have to push the hatch up, otherwise I'll hit my head...done that a few times sadly.

My ebay struts are still perfect, and I use the hatch several times(possibly a dozen+) per day M-F...haven't hit my head since I posted about it.

Update
2014 update. I looked around a few places and I found these on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If I remember correctly, they are cheaper on Amazon than on Lift Supports Depot's actual site. It is about 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit here and they are working fine. Hopefully they last a while. Before I got them, I had to hold my hatch up as it would slam shut otherwise. |
