Easy Peasy!
This was one of the easiest, cheapest repairs I've done on a vehicle in awhile. Worked like a charm and good quality parts. Not much else to say to be honest. Gotta love when a fix is this easy and reasonable.

Product Description
StrongArm gas charged lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to provide smooth operation and durability. The hardened chromium plated steel shaft is precision ground and polished for superior corrosion resistance and leak free sealing. The self cleaning piston assembly automatically opens during each compression cycle to keep the orifice clear of fluid contaminants and provide smoother operation and reliable performance. Most units also utilize StrongArm's patented temperature compensation module valve which ensures consistent operation even in extreme weather conditions.

The metallic upper bushing is manufactured with bearing quality precision to provide exact fit with pistion rod and promote a long operating life. Top to learn more

It took 10-15 minutes of struggling, sweating, swearing and head scratching to figure out that they need to be pressed-on axially at the end of the cylindrical shaft. Even though I figured out how to install...
