My cousin asked for my help to replace the lift struts on the hatch of her 2000 OB wagon. I checked all of the parts places I normally use, they all list lift struts for every Legacy generation other than 2000-2004??

 

Are there any non-OEM options for these?

Amazon has them for $50/pair:

or directly from here http://www.autopartsbylou.com/lift-supports-products.php?make=SUBARU&model=Legacy&year=2000&type=mmy&x=24&y=14

 

They are $49 each from online Subaru dealer: http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partlistbymod.php?model=Legacy&subcat=Rear+Gate+Stay&year=2000
