What is the Trunk Lift Support Shocks all about?

When you want to access the trunk to insert or remove your belongings, you need the trunk lid to stay open on its own so you have both hands free. Some trunks use tension bars to spring the trunk lid open, but they can be difficult to close, and a broken tension bar can cause bodily harm. Another method used by auto manufacturers to hold a trunk lid up is a pair of trunk lift support shocks. They are a gas-filled cylinder that puts a precise amount of pressure on the bottom of the trunk lid. When the trunk is released and lifted approximately halfway, the trunk supports lift the trunk lid to the fully open position and hold it in place, leaving both of your hands free to load or unload your trunk. The amount of force required to hold the trunk lid open is carefully matched between the gas shocks and the weight of the trunk lid. When closing the trunk lid, there is minimal resistance applied, making closing the trunk easy and safe. When the trunk lid no longer opens easily, doesn’t stay open on its own, or drops suddenly when closing, the trunk lift support shocks may be weak.

Keep in mind:

If your trunk lift support shocks are too weak to hold your trunk lid or liftgate up, the lid can fall on you and cause injury.
Trunk support shocks are gas-charged. Puncture or incineration of your old trunk supports can cause injury or death.
Always have your trunk supports replaced as a pair.

How it's done:

The faulty trunk lift support shock is identified
The trunk is manually supported and the defective trunk lift support shock is removed
The new trunk lift support shock is installed and manual support is removed
The trunk is checked for proper operation of the trunk lift support shocks
The trunk is opened and closed to check trunk lid operation and that the lift supports hold trunk in the up position

Our recommendation:

If the trunk lid doesn’t remain open on its own, is difficult to lift up, or falls on its own, you may need to replace your trunk supports.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Trunk Lift Support Shocks?

Trunk lid doesn’t remain in open position without assistance
Trunk lid is difficult or heavy to lift from the closed position
In cold weather, trunk supports will slowly let the trunk lid drop

How important is this service?

A falling trunk lid can be dangerous to an unsuspecting person using the trunk. It can cause bodily harm, and as such, should be replaced as soon as a fault is noted.

Mercury Mountaineer V6-4.0L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front, Rear) - Lake Forest, California

Chris did such a great job fixing my car. He replaced all 4 brake pads which had completely worn out. The wheels were making a really bad squeaking sound when ever I drove. I was embarrassed just driving it for the sound it made but had no idea it was because the brakes were bad. After he replaced the brake pads the car brakes felt so much better and the noise was gone. He also replaced the oil and supplied a new oil plug. I don't know much about cars, and this is the first car I've owned so I really appreciate his honest expert opinion and ability to completely fix my car. Such a great guy. Thanks

Mercury Mountaineer V6-4.0L - Oxygen Sensor Replacement (Front/Upper/Upstream) - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Victor is always on time, with parts and everything he needs to put them on your vehicle. Victor is always prepared, he put wheel bearings and ball joints the other day on my SUV and I drove to Baltimore from Virginia beach yesterday with not a care on my mind whether he did his job right or not, my truck drove so smoothly. Today was EGR valve and of course he was prepared and it only took him an half hour, because he doesn't play around. He enjoys what he does and knows what he's doing. Victor explains what the part is and how it's needed on your vehicle. He explains everything. I feel so comfortable knowing he's the one coming to work on my vehicle for so many reasons, and one is I know it will be done right! That's my biggest worry when it comes to someone working on my vehicle. So, you can have your part or not, Victor will come to you..ON TIME.., GREAT PRICES.., PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE.., SO NICE.., I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY EVERYTHING IS THE BEST AND IT WOULD DO YOU A GREAT SERVICE TO JUST TRY MR. MECHANIC 1 TIME, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID AND YOU'LL BE LIKE ME AND KEEP THEM FOR LIFE! VICTOR IS NOW MY LIFETIME MECHANIC !! THANK YOU A.DAYE
