Best place for new hatch supports?

chris91LX · 07-05-2002, 01:44 PM

I need to replace those little shock absorbers that hold up the hatch, or in my case DON'T hold up the hatch. I'm tired of almost getting decapitated when I reach into the back.

I see that Texas Mustang Parts has them for $33.50 a pair in the new MM&FF, but I've never dealt with them. Anybody have any other suggestions?

ususally local auto part places like autozone, o'reilly's, napa, and so on have them reasonably priced with warranties. I would try them first and if all else fails, then mail order. good luck

I bought mine at Trak Auto. Do you still have Trak Auto's there? Anyway, most other parts stores carry them, and may be cheaper than Trak. The replacements seem to have more power, and have lasted a lot longer than the originals.

I bought mine mail-order from Mustangs Unlimited (CT).

About $28. for the pair.

Excellent quality and no problems since (3 years).
