I see a lot of discussion on door struts here. It seems the “satisfaction” with the various offerings depend somewhat on the build batch currently in stock. Also operation after installation seems affected by hot / cold conditions and whether the torsion bar has been adjusted. The DMC units get mixed comments. Some say they are weak and won’t lift the door fully while others say the door shoots up and bounces. Grady units have generally good reviews indicating they are both strong and have some sort of dampen feature to “soft land” the door in the up position.
My driver side door strut just gave out, hissing and spewing fluid. As far as I know the torsion bar has not been field adjusted. Sorry for rehashing a recurring subject but does anyone have current insights on door strut replacements.
Thanks,
Ron
