My lift supports went out on me a month ago. I went to many places to see if they had any but none did. I dont know which to get, since the dealer is charging $150.00 each for the supports. I read the warning on the lift supports, it sed something about newtons and that sort of stuff. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me any specific lift supports or newtons to buy those in?

Just go to Autozone(or Advance Auto, Pep Boys, NAPA...). They should cost about $30 each or so. You should be able to go to the counter at most parts stores and just tell them what car you have and they'll tell you which ones to get.
I just replaced both of the ones in my friends minivan. Just make sure you have a second person there to support the weight of the hatch while you change them out. |

I know that both the Pep Boys and the O'Reillys up the street from me have them for $35 a piece. Don't know why they wouldn't have them in NV. Did you ask if they could order them? There are enough of us 6th gens in town now that some places actually have parts, but any place can order them in normally.
edit: Just went to car-parts.com and came up with pairs ranging from $23 - $100. If you're local store can't get new ones for less than dealer prices, go to www.car-parts.com and look up 'Trunk Lid/Hatch Hinge'. It's a junkyard search site, but used is better than broken.
