JR Products EF PS30 Spring Fitting Review

Good thing there were 2 packs. I bought these to replace a broken tailgate strut on my Jeep. I put it on and when I tested it by opening the back door and expecting it to hold up, it fell apart. The copper thread pulled out of the plastic cap the first time. The second holds after opening the door twice, but I doubt it will hold.

I bought these for my van door which caught in the wind and was separating the OEM plastic threads. Saw this one with metal and bought 2 sets. Very disappointed to receive a plastic replacement instead of the metal thread shown in the ad. Giving this review a star as the seller has been pointed out several times in other reviews (wish I had read it).

If you are looking for a "steel" gas spring end fitting as described (or a brass threaded insert as shown) on the picture), this is NOT the right product for you. These are standard plastic parts that in my experience fail within a year or two. In an RV door closer, the plastic threads break due to the stresses of holding the door. replacement of currently failed parts; I'll see how long these last.
