2014 Rav4 Liftgate Cylinder Broken - Help!
UNTIL the Power Lift gate broke on the driver’s side. The ball of the ball and socket joint broke off the Liftgate Cylinder where it connects to the gate.
I want to replace it but I have questions:
1. Does the entire apparatus need to be replaced or can I replace just the broken part?
2. The prices I see for the entire part are extremely high. Where might I find one of these USED at a fair price?
3. The ball and socket joint on the passenger is also rusted and likely to go as well. Not good.
As it is now, this gate takes a great deal of effort to open manually. I need the exercise but this is getting old fast.I VERY much appreciate your suggestions.
