97 rear hatch strut

[runner97]

Need to replace the rear hatch struts on my 97 4runner. Current ones are loosing their ability to fully raise the hatch without assistance. Went to dealer and the factory replacements are $150+/- a piece!!!
Anybody know of a cheeper route? The link below seems too good to be true.

The strut is a generic. It may work, but there's a good chance it won't fit like the factory ones. You get what you pay for. For $15, it's hard to go wrong - try it.
