Fitment 2003-2014 XC90Installation Instructions Always replace both lift supports to ensure top performance and to prevent twisting caused by uneven loading. 1. Turn off ignition. If old lift support has a window demister electrical connection, carefully disconnect the fittings. 2. Before removing old lift supports, examine any fittings supplied to determine which components must be re-used. 3. Have someone hold the hatch, bonnet, boot or rear window open while replacing the lift supports. 4. Loosen the fasteners, remove one end while being prepared to fight the pressure in the strut, move the end so it's away from the bodywork, remove the other end, install that end of the new one, wrestle the other end into place and tighten up. 5. Make sure all connectors and hardware are in place, tight and secure. Reconnect electrical terminals at both ends of the gas-charged lift support, if applicable to your car. Retain plastic end caps, if applicable to your car.WARNING Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle.
