The ford struts are pricey compared to others on eBay (for example). Anyone purchased any particular strut brand they would recommend? If the Ford ones fail often I don't really want to pay more for them.ThanksAnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to push it up by hand.thumbs up for their struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just if I push it up at medium pace and let it go it accelerates too much and might stretch out the bolts or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
