Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the extended length, compressed length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and plastic socket ends against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2008-2015 Scion xB and compare the existing hatch strut mounting points to the listed attachment style. Replace supports in matched condition when the opposite side shows similar wear, and support the hatch securely before removing the old gas spring.
