2010-2015 - Replacing hatch lift supports

One of the gas springs failed recently on the 2010.
I replaced both with StrongArm 7088 "gas charged lift support" from Rockauto.
The StrongArm 7088 are _exactly_ the same (extended) length as the OEM 2010 supports.
The hatch is almost perfectly balanced when opening & requires very little effort to nudge it up after that.
Closing is fairly easy. The 2010 feels the same as the 2015 with its OEM lift supports

I was quite confused when researching replacements.
A few things I learned along the way:

1) Some places show different part numbers for 2010-2011 vs 2012-2015 vehicles.
I compared my 2010 & 2015 "lift supports" & both have the same Toyota p/n (68950-0W540, right side)
So the "lift supports" are the same accross the years 2010-2015.

2) For some reason Toyota has different p/n for L & R sides.
All the replacement "lift supports" fit either side, so only one p/n needed.

3) Rockauto shows 8 items for "lift support".
None of them is the StrongArm 7088...
but...
When I searched rockauto for "StrongArm 7088" they did carry that item:
More Information for STRONGARM 7088
That page has: "OEM / Interchange Numbers: 689500W542, 689600W532"
These are the Toyota p/n for their "lift supports"

That is what I ordered & they easily "pop" onto the ball ends.
I noted each end of the new "lift supports" included a tiny blob of lubricant in each recess, a nice touch.

 

You are correct - The StrongArm 7088 are ordered separately so two units are needed.
@ ~$10 ea, with shipping & tax I think it was $33 for both from Rockauto.

 

Great!
Just noticed something strange @ Rockauto...
When I checked earlier this morning, they had 2 "in stock" for $10.02 ea. (what I paid).

When I look now, the price is $12.62 & they do not show how many in stock...
although when I started to order 2 more, the web site accepted so they have a stock @ the "new" price.
Either way its still a great deal when needed

 

Appears you got the last two @ the USD $10.02 price (CAD $13.55)
