oil the HB struts? - Toyota Yaris Forums

My liftback hatch is is getting a little sluggish on opening. Any harm is oiling the strut/piston on either side. I don't want to hurt any seals by using the wrong oil. Any advice guys? Thanks for the help...!

take it in under warranty....toyota will cover it.

they should not slow down or stop partially upon extension.
