[MSCW list] LIFT SUPPORTS FOR 1983 RX-7

[KEITH MCDANIEL]

The hatchback on my 1983 RX-7 doesn't stay up because the lift supports have lost their pressure.  Advance Auto Parts sells a universal Strong Arm lift support that they say fits my car.  I was considering buying a new left-side lift support only, since the right-side lift support (which has all the rear-wiper wiring & connections) is not available.  My hopes are that one good lift support will be enough to hold up the hatchback.  Any advice?  Will one "universal" lift support look bad?  Thanks.
