i installed strongarms without too many problems. Have some mechanism for holding up your hood.

Be sure to have proper wrench set so you can remove your old bolt-in studs. I didn't have fancy racheting wrenches, so took me a bit longer with a small monkey wrench to get the old out.

Lineup the old before installing.
The only other note in my install, if I remember is the heads are thread-on screws, so they don't just spin freely. So if you end up needing to rotate a head 90degrees, but the sucker isn't turning; unscrew it 270 the other way instead.

 

i put on the strong arms about 2 months ago. so good.

no problems putting them on. stupid easy

 

Gonna bite the bullet and purchase these. I'll let you all know how it goes shortly afterwards!

 

these are the ones I got so far so good

 

i take it there's no difference in struts from the LS to GS models? amazon is saying they dont fit my GS

 

There is a difference. the GS ones that I bought were 4536


Amazon also has an option that lets you see if the item is compatible for your car.

I should be getting these today. After I get some time to install them I'll post a review.

 

Mine didn't come with the ball head bolt. How did you cut off the old tokia factory mounting bolt ?

 

You don't. You need to return or replace the item you bought or call to get the missing part.

 

Strong Arms are what I put at over 1 year plus ago and going strong. No regrets.
