Installation notes and tips
Verify the vehicle is a 2007-2009 Mazda 3 with the hatch configuration noted in fitment before ordering. Match the ball-socket end angles and overall length to the original support for proper installation and operation. For balanced hatch performance, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the vehicle.
