Volvo S70/V70 1998-2000 » Tailgate Lift Supports
 Tailgate and trunk supports don't last forever. They can age slowly or fail suddenly with rapid temperature changes. You'll realize the failure immediately when the lid suddenly contacts you -- usually in the head. Then you'll get your next shock. The cost for a pair of OEM gas springs can run as high as $175.00! IPD's suggestion is to buy our reasonably priced replacements and save. Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle.

Nice to have the tailgate pop up by itself, just hard to get used to after all that time lifting the gate by hand. I removed the center panel, the one with the light, then the side panels to gain access. Bring that big screw driver, and pry off the back attach point first, but before you do that, be ready for the hatch to slam down on your knees when it pops off. If you have help, have them force the hatch up and hold it, it makes installing easier

I installed these lift support struts in about an hour. I had some difficulty discerning how to remove the existing (and leaking) parts, but a call to Scott Hart got me pointed in the right direction. Once the existing struts were removed (hint: use a large, flat-bladed screwdriver to pry off the rear ball joint and get to the front ball join through the hole in the tailgate hinge...), these struts pop right on. The result is factory perfect. I'm really pleased with the result and the savings in labor was well worth the minor effort.
