Review on Tuff Support Liftgate Lift Supports: 2-Piece Set for Subaru Forester 2003-2008 by Eric Young

2008 Subaru Forester OEM Installation was great and installation was easy. FYI, they fit SG bodied Foresters of all years (MY2004-2008). They were purchased to replace stock struts that were nearing the end of their useful life and slowing down in colder weather. After installing this product they worked well for 90% expansion and then need to be "raised" to fully open at normal ambient temperature. This kills any reason to buy these new $70+ OEM units, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. completely failed. A complete waste of money.
