Anyone have the pieces that lift the trunk go bad? They were removed from my car before I bought it and it took me a couple of weeks to realize that the reason the trunk was so difficult to open was not just because the spoiler was heavy. Are they expensive? Are they hard to replace?
Thanks!

 

expensive, yes
hard to replace no
Mopar Crossfire Tailgate Shocks
they are a specific 193 chassis part number

 

Are these about like doing a C4 vette rear window-hatch? Basically prop open and release a clip that goes around the ends and pull off the ball stud? If so should be even easier than the vette as they are both right there in front of you..

 

haven't done a vette hatch but sound like the same scenario, use a small flat head to slide the locking clip back, pull off old shock and slide on new shock. 3 minute job if you have a buddy to hold up the hatch. same scenario for the front hood shock.

 

And Kay, just so you know, Rob (NeedsWings) is a trusted, good vendor and forum sponsor.

 

When I checked the site it only lists ones without spoiler.

 

All Crossfires have spoilers and the description covers all models of Crossfire.
"....genuine Mopar replacement shocks for your 04-08 Chrysler Crossfire Base, Limited or SRT6. Includes both right and left shocks as they are to be replaced in pairs. "

 

Yup. Similarities like this are why you can use the SRT service manual on ALL Crossfires.


Even one's owned by those damn Canadians!

 

those are the coupe version I have listed, we can get roadster shocks also, just let me know what your looking for.

 

Rob can you post the price for the roadster trunk lid shocks? Thanks

 

roadster version are $70 each
