2x Rear Tailgate Gas Struts for Toyota Celica ZZT23 1999-2005
Restore reliable lift and control to your Toyota Celica Coupe hatchback with this exact-fit pair of rear gas struts. Built specifically for the ZZT23 chassis (1999–2005), these replacements counteract the slow drift and sudden drops common in aging factory dampers. The carbon steel construction delivers steady 465 N of eject force, keeping the boot flap securely open while you load gear. Directly compatible with OE references 68960-20240, 68950-20240, 68950-80108, and 68960-80063, they bolt onto the existing left and right mounting points without drilling or trimming.
Benefits & Tips
- Measure your current struts closely; the required extended length is exactly 420 mm ± 2 mm (centre hole to centre hole) for flawless bracket alignment.
- Apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the rubber boots and studs before installation to prevent binding and protect against road moisture.
- Support the tailgate with a temporary brace or helper while swapping the second unit to avoid catching skin or scuffing paintwork.
