The plastic roller for the spring rod of the rear trunk lid hinge looks like it’s about to come off of the shaft. What techniques do folks use for releasing the tension of the spring? Is it then just a matter of pushing the roller further onto the shaft and putting the spring back in place?
Thanks, Mike |

I do not believe it is a hate. I just believe there may be a preference for keeping the original pivot and plastic roller in place. I would fix it correctly with the stock parts and likely never have to deal with it again.
I just see the struts as an unnecessary modification for the sake of a modification. Believe me, I have made a few mods on my car, so I am not a "purist" but I believe the original design worked well and really only fail when not properly maintained. Now if you have a car that is far from stock and the trunk rods were removed in the pursuit of space savings, then use the struts and never look back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
