Review on High-Quality ARANA 2 Rear Trunk Liftgate Gas Lift Supports for 2005-2010 Scion TC - Enhance Hatch Functionality with Reliable Springs and Shocks by Greg Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quick fix, but far from OEM quality.

Not even close to OEM quality. It's basically a cheap quick fix/replacement. I don't expect them to last more than a few years, if not a year or less. I took some shots next to a 12 year old OEM. As you can see, it's like comparing Apple to a watermelon. The clip design makes installation 10 times harder than necessary. It took me 5 minutes to remove both OEM's from the car. It took me 40 minutes to install the new shock absorbers. You can literally unscrew the linkage from the shocks, so you can tell it's a cut-and-phase design that accommodates different sized shocks.

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Suitable
