I recently did this on my Z and now the Hatch opens too far. The water squirter at the top of the hatch actually hits the body and deflects just a little bit.Not sure why this is as I ordered exactly what was called for with the sole exception of the ball studs which were no longer available. (The substitute part number for those is 9512K18 and the certainly have no affect on the strut length.) I realize this is an old post, but it's one of the first to pop on on a search for hatch struts, so I thought I'd put this here so everyone knows.
