Help with the boot shock absorber

[danielptoro]

Hi mates.

The shock absorber is screaming everytime I have to lifte the boot door (at least 4 times a day), I tried to put some grease and oil on it but no chance. I need some help to find a replacement as I can't find anywhere. Or am I trying to find with the wrong name?

Thank you very much.

I think they are called boot struts, try this link

Called gas struts down here. Look for a part number or other info on them and then you can buy matching replacements.
