Hatchback struts needing heavier - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'd approach use of more robust struts with extreme caution. Enough people have had the welds fail on the mounts with factory OEM, that I'd never consider it. Just carry a stick in the hatch for added support when you need it.

Good to know, appreciate the info. I will keep it stock, not sure how much the bike rack weighs maybe wont even need the extra pounds.
