Liftgate Struts OEM Fit for Lexus RX350 RX450h 2010-2015 w/Power Gate | OE PM3066 689500E030 689600E030 273695 689500E160 689600E160, Rear Hatch Shocks, Heavy Duty

Good struts at a fair price with reasonable delivery time. I got them today, installed them on our Lexus RX350 rear hatch. Perfect fit and the price was good. These replaced the originals that were used for 125692 miles. The rear power door had started to struggle to lift the door, now the door lifts without me having to help lift it open. The new struts fixed the power door opeing issue. I like them.

Works perfectly for my 2010 Buick Enclave cxl. I watched a YouTube video on how to install...took less than 5 min to remove the old and install these. Now my trunk door stays up. Waaay cheaper than Autozone and I feel great about this purchase.

It works like new! Great for the price.

Easy to install and very sturdy.

These struts work just fine; it is the installation process that you need to be aware of. You may discover a number of sources (reviews, YouTube videos, etc.) that include information telling you how to make removal and installation of struts easier. To remove the old struts, first use a narrow flat blade screwdriver to slide the metal retention clips just a bit *away* from the long shaft and towards the end of the strut. Sliding the retention clip makes it loosen its grip on the ball that it snaps on to. This is good for the removal of the old struts, but *DO NOT* do the same thing when installing the new struts, as the clips are not well made, and will deform easily. Note: two dabs of heavy grease are needed during installation of each new strut, but since this grease is *not* provided, it must be acquired separately. To install the new struts: 1.) After removing the old struts, note the ball ends the struts the struts were previously attached to, and wipe them clean to remove the old grease and dirt. 2.) Plase a small dab of heavy grease into the ball socket of the new strut. 3.) Hold the new strut over the ball end with one hand, and press firmly with the heel of your other hand until you hear the strut snap into place. That's it. You can do the entire job in 5 minutes with only the screwdriver and a paper towel.

I got them installed and they seem to perform fine. Price was right but they aren't totally without difficulties. I wasn't sure I would be able to get them over the posts as they came fully extended and I could not get them to retract and they were just a bit too long. I did find that installing the one end on the door post first, and then, with significant upward lift one the door, was able to slip the other end over the frame post. Once I got the one side installed, I followed the same process with the other side. I did find that you don't need to remove the clip to get them to snap in place over the ball end of the posts, but suspect you may need to if you need to uninstall a strut, although I was able to get the coupler to pop off the ball of the post with the clip in place. I just hope they don't do so on their own, but so far, they properly support the rear door and seem to be working fine. If you're replacing an OEM strut, you will have to remove the original posts with a T-40 torx bit. The originals were installed with threadlock and I hand to break them loose with Tee wrench first, and then finish the job with an impact driver - two of them would not budge with the impact driver itself. The new posts required a metric open end or box wrench to insert and tighten. Overall, it took less than 45 minutes to install both, and probably 10 minutes of that were burned up trying to figure out how I has going to get them over the posts fully expended. As I said earlier, it was impossible to manually adjust the length so needed the absolute full opening of the door to slip onto the posts - lot's of upward pressure on the door. Would have been easier with 2 people doing the install, but if you are doing it with only one, make sure the door is securely braced open.

delivered fast. lift supports work as they should and are very strong.

Great replacement part

I bought these for my Kis Sorento in late December last year. So 5 months ago I purchased this product and I am already having a problem with them. I got hit in the hand with my boot tailgate. The gas struts are already failing and my car is an SUV and is a wagon so the tailgate is heavy so it hurt alot. I want to ask Amazon for warranty. Not good enough. 5 months and already failing.

Either the wrong product was shipped or it simply didn't fit a 2009 Lexus Rx350. I would have returned it but it was over 30 days before I got my mechanic to install it. Quality seemed fine bit the struts I received were way too small for a Rx350 tailgate.i have purchased some more from Ebay and they worked fine.

100% match of acadia.

These hold my trunk open on my SUV. They do such a good job, that I really have to give a good pull to close the trunk now.
