What It Helps Fix

- Weak or slow-opening rear support action
- Uneven resistance when raising the panel
- Original gas strut loss of pressure over time
- Noisy or worn lift support movement
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the rod and tube socket connections match the original support before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and force rating to the removed unit to confirm proper application on your Toyota Prius. Replace supports in a controlled manner and support the hatch or panel before disconnecting the old strut.
