tailgate dampeners V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Thu Jul 21 03:59 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The liftgate will sag a bit especially in cool weather, then eventually droop and fall. If one strut is bad, replace both. How to do it is on Bay13. It is easy and safe to do in about 10-15 minutes IF you have a 2nd person to support and hyperextend the liftgate a little so the struts are completely off-loaded during removal/reinstall. The gate is surprising heavy. If it slipped with no struts mounted you might stand to lose a finger or hand.
