FAQ Q&A

Q: Can I install these struts on both a 2008 and a 2012 Toyota Prius?

A: Yes, these struts are compatible with both the XW20 (2004-2009) and XW30 (2010-2015) generations of the Toyota Prius tailgate.

Q: Should I replace these lift supports in pairs or just the broken one?

A: It is highly recommended to replace both gas struts at the same time to ensure balanced lifting force and prevent uneven wear on the new component.

Q: Do these gas springs require any lubrication before installation?

A: No, these gas struts are self-contained and pre-lubricated. Applying external grease to the piston rod can actually damage the internal seals.
