Ouch. My head hurts.

 

Our 93 Legacy wagon's tailgate lift supports/struts are not holding up their fair share. I have these questions:

 

(1) How hard are the gas charged lift supports to replace?

(2) Do they come with all the hardware included or do I need to pop the lift support off of the ball joint with a pickle fork or something?

(3) Where's the best place to purchase these lift supports?

 

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

You may need new ball studs. I got my stuff from http://www.1stsubaruparts.com.

Thank you.

 

I had searched using a bunch of terms and came up with nothing. Thanks for the link!

I got the stuff from 1stsubaruparts. They included everything needed for replacing the lift gate struts for a great price. (Including the ball studs). They were very heplful on the phone answering questions that I had.

 

The replacement was very straight forward and only took 30 minutes to accomplish.

 

Thanks for the help!

Excellent!!! Glad it worked out well.
