Thread: Trunk lift supports

So my trunk lift support or pump went out and I went to oriellys and they wanted 33 for one lift support for a gp. So I tried a Buick century ones for 15 they were a tad too long like no more then 1/8th of inch to long. I just have a hard time paying $33 for something that for every other car is $15-$18. Is there somewhere that sells these cheaper then $30 for our cars?

is it a 1/8 to long when closed? and maybe you could bend/massage the mounts to accept the 1/8 inch.

i'd try it and if it dont work, return it.

No like installing I couldn't ge it on both tips at the same time. And they are impossible to compress by hand. They got returned already to

Yep junk yard!! Or Ebay Or rockauto.com Or Moradpartsco. Or look in the classifieds for someone thats parting a car I know their are a few on here.[/QUOTE]


Yup junk yard were u can't open the trunk with out wasting time.

I will check those sites out tho

i got "new" ones from a junk yard for like $10

The ones I've seen in my salvage yard have either been on fire or was the car that rear ended another car.

Question tho how would you get a perfectly fine trunk open in a salvage yard with no keys?

I had one open last only cuz it was a 02 and has the govt mandated trunk release strap in the inside but to get to that I had to pull the whole back seat out anyway.

pop the lock out is what i do.. or move on to the many many others in my local yard lol

Well gave up and got the one today redic price but f it
