How To – Install Replacement Rear Trunk Struts/Supports (2006-2010 M35/M45 Y50 series cars)
I have been looking for a replacement of new rear trunk struts/supports for my car for a few years, as I did not want to purchase used struts or Nissan Titan/any other Nissan model struts that *may* fit, but are not the exact same length as the OEM struts. For anyone who wants to replace their worn OEM rear trunk struts, I have found a great replacement. I have the liftsupportsdepot.com (purchased from ebay.com) 2006-2010 OEM size/quality trunk struts to replace my worn out OEM struts on my car. They are the
exact size/length and
exact fit as the OEM struts.

Time: 2 minutes for both sides.
Supplies Needed:
