I need to find a source for gas springs for the hatchback on my wifes 1996 Ford Probe GT. Anyone have any ideas short of giving the dealer $200.00 for them??? Mike B.

NAPA stores have them for most cars. Or, you can go ultra-cheap and get a little latch mechanism that keeps the hatch up with weak gas lifts. It's $10-15.00. CHuck

Mike B. stroked the keys thusly: The ones on my '94 Probe GT went, too. I haven't found an aftermarket source yet, but I've instead placed a suitable length of broom handle in the rear of the car. Th

If I recall correctly, the favorite replacement hatch struts of probe owners were made by NAPA, at least according to the mailing list I used to be on. Unfortunately, I didn't keep all my archives w

As a fellow Probe GT driver and having dealt with the weak hatch struts that fail progressively as the temps plummet, I first resorted to using something I kept in my car most of the time anyway: An

I found yet another solution for such problems. I used to own an '85 300ZX which had worn hood struts. I simply bought a small pair of Vise-Grips and would clamp them to the shaft of one strut. This

I hate to belabor the point... but... Even though the MX6/626/Probe all share the same engines and chassis's (slightly different trannies), an MX6/626 isn't a hatchback like the Probe so probably doe
