Look on the strut for the part number and then go to Amazon (dot) com to get them for half price of what the speciality stores want for them . . . Paid $23.00 for the two of mine, Autozone wanted $19 each.
JFYI

Keith,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately SUSPA C16-25583 is not available from amazon or any other source that i can find. Suspa website says they are on backorder even from them directly (they want cosloe to $100 if they did have them in stock). Also, they don't list the specs of the strut to find a replacement by lengths.
So, has anyone found a readily available replacement?
The part #25462 returns nothing for me (maybe ffr#) . 25LB sounds reasonable. Could someone measure and see if 35.5” EXTENDED is correct and what the compressed length is? I have found a suspa described as:

Struts from FFR finally arrived, $50 i think i paid. They still have the suspa c16-25583 which seem to be discontinued. The shocks when installed are 33" extended and 19" compressed. If someone finds a replacement please post here for future seekers.
Anyone have any news on this, one of my gas springs for the front hood is broken and I have a hard time to find this Suspa part over here in europe, I have a company selling gas springs but then I need to know the ratings.
If anyone knows the force of the spring it will be great.
Otherwise I have to send the spring that still is working to a company here and they can measure the spring (and I can post the ratings here), but tought I should ask here before I do that.
Hi
I have measured the force on the gas spring that still works and it is 200N, i have ordered 2 new of an other brand and I am sure it will work great.
