I got a 2000 GS Integra, and when I open the trunk it doesn't hold up. I believe the hydrlic struts or whatever its called have gone bad. Does anyone know what parts I need to replace (most likely) and if theres any DIY on it?

 

it is your trunk shocks if they fall when you lift it up. get new shocks. they have it around for pretty cheap. dependin on where you look of course.

 

You know any good places to start looking, like Auto Zone?

 

Most parts stores carry hood and liftgate struts, but no telling if they will have Integra-specific ones. You may have to special order them.

They're $63 each from Carland Acura down in Georgia.

Patrick,

Under what section are they listed?

 

Tailgate in the parts list.

 

yes the shocks need to be replace. I can get you used shocks.. if u want to, ill ask guy in my local cause hes partin out the 1999 GSR. LMK!

 

let me know - dungraduated@aol.com

 

Just go to a junkyard.... cheap as fk.

 

I had the same problem a few months ago. I purchased a pair at Pep Boys for $60.00. You can also buy just one and it'll hold up the trunk as well if you wanna buy just one for now. It's cheaper off of ebay but decided not to go that route in case I wanted to return it.

Replace your trunk shocks and you'll be straight homie.

 

just go to napa and get them man.

 

Great, i'm going to do that tommorrow. Are they pretty easy to replace, I mean pretty straight forward? I been using a 4-ft level from work to hold up my truck, and if it wasn't for the Type R wing, I would have nothing to hold the trunk from slaming really hard closed, which could damage the glass. So thumbs up for the Type R wing, and the great replys!

 

how hard is it to remove the spring?

 

No spring, they are hydraulic pistons.

 

They are about $20 a piece @ Autozone if I remember correctly. Easy to replace.

 

I got mine on ebay for 40 for both lift supports and they work just fine I've had the for 6 months now.

 

Yup change the gas shocks, mines are dying on me too as of this moment.
