We just had a garage replace the tailgate lift struts on our 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now the tail is very difficult to pull closed. Is there a way to adjust the struts so that it easier to pull down closed??

Raymond Janko - Replica

Double check the work. Make sure they are mounted the right direction and that all the bolts are properly fastend. There are no adjustments

I need to replace the lower bolt as it snapped in half. Any advice for that?

Dave Hankins - Replica

Use a drill and drill off the head. Remove the strut and use something like a pair of vise-grips and get a grip on the leftover part of the bolt. Try to remove it. If you can/ time to drill it out and retap the thread.
