Review on 🔧 Set of 2 Rear Hatch Gas Springs Shocks Struts for 2003-2008 Nissan 350Z (Part #4194 SG325022) by Demond Clenney

I bought it because it was the cheapest with 4.5 star reviews. However, it didn't work like OEM 1.1. Poor build quality. The OEM damper has a metal ball joint. It's just a plastic bushing that screws onto the shock absorber.2. Dynamic pressure compared to factory too high. It may have been designed for the NISMO version that needs to carry the extra weight of the NISMO wing. This is just my guess as there is no description or anything to back this up. (You may need 2 hands to close the hatch. And my hatch is still weighted.) 3. Geometry off. No, I didn't install the bottom bracket incorrectly. As with the OEM, the sunroof can be closed without a gap. The problem is that when the sunroof is unlocked, the bumps don't create any pressure to help the sunroof open automatically. There are almost 10 degrees where the impact does not exert any pressure. This is far beyond the spring assist range (5-8 degrees).4. Pay attention to point 3, the upper ball seat has a much smaller stroke range than the original one. When the sunroof is fully open, the plastic ball joint flexes against impact. In addition to the above, there is other information that you need to know if you still want to buy it. The bottom brackets were delivered without screws. It is neither in the picture nor in the product description. The upper ball joint bolt comes without a washer/gasket. (I don't see any of the Revain listings that come with this one.) The OEM will most likely fall apart if you unhook it. You will definitely want this to prevent corrosion.
