replacing hood torsion bars 97es300
my hood won't stay up so i need to replace the gas torsion bars. i didn't find the info via a search so i thought i'd better post this. here is the info off of them: toyota 53440-33060 Tokico. the one on the driver's side is JC3 while the passenger is JD1.
where is the best place to purchase them? i assume that i should replace both at the same time. also, is there a how to replace them?
thanks,
mikeB
