Trunk Struts for Mazda 3: Fitment Check Needed - mistland

 This post is part of my activities with AliExpress, and I may receive a commission for purchases made through links in this content.

My trunk struts on my Mazda 3 (specifically for the 2008-2012 Sedan 1.6/2.0 models) were finally starting to give out, so I decided to replace them with the Car accessories rear trunk lid damper gas spring 56-930. When I first pulled the item out of the packaging, I have to say, on the surface, the product looks good. It certainly feels like a substantial replacement part for the rear trunk lid, and I was hopeful it would solve my sagging trunk issue immediately.

However, after attempting installation, I ran into a slight snag, which seems to be a common theme based on other buyer feedback. While this product does the job perfectly *if* it fits your specific car, it turned out that the dimensions I had assumed were incorrect for my setup, and I ended up ordering a longer version elsewhere. One other buyer mentioned a similar experience, stressing the importance of taking measurements beforehand—definitely take heed of that advice!

Even though the fit wasn't right for me this time, the general quality seems to be medium, as another user noted, but functional enough if you get the right size.

For anyone looking to replace their gas springs, if you confirm these specifications match your Mazda 3 BL exactly, this product seems capable of performing its core function well. It looks sturdy and is likely a decent value proposition if the measurements align with your needs, though perhaps not premium quality.

So, if you own the specified 2008-2012 Mazda 3 Sedan and have double-checked your required damper length against the 56-930 specs, I think you can confidently proceed with this purchase. For the right vehicle, this trunk lid damper gas spring should do the job just fine.
