Trunk Shok Absorber for prado 2018..2022

Description

The **shock absorber** for a trunk door in a Toyota Prado is commonly referred to as a **tailgate gas strut**, **trunk door strut**, or **liftgate support strut**. These struts provide the necessary support to hold the trunk door (or tailgate) open and make it easier to lift or close by absorbing weight and providing controlled motion.

### Key Details to Consider:
1. **Compatibility**: Ensure the strut matches your Prado’s model and year (e.g., Prado 120, Prado 150).
2. **OEM or Aftermarket**: You can choose between original Toyota parts or aftermarket options for cost-effectiveness.
3. **Load Rating**: The struts are designed to match the weight and size of the trunk door.
4. **Material**: Quality gas struts are made of stainless steel with durable seals to prevent gas leaks.
