Hi all,

Searched the forum, but didn't find a definitive answer, so hoping y'all can help me figure this one out.

My lift support under the hood gave out. It no workee at all.

I did find a link to something called a "support rod" on parts.com for $117.30 (yikes). Is this the same part? I've heard it called Gas Prop (in the service manual), a lift support and now, maybe, a support rod....confusing....

Can someone confirm this is the right part? And if anyone has any advice or sources for a decent replacement, that would be great!

Also, I think I heard that the Crossfire is based on the Mercedes SLK, correct? Would a lift support for that model be compatible? Or do I have my facts/models wrong?

Thanks for any help you guys can send my way!
