'96-era Wagon owners: does your lift gate lift?

May 12, 2004 2 Replies

I recently bought a used 96 Camry Wagon, V6. The rear lift gate takes some muscle to open it--it doesn't just go up itself. Are my lift cylinders worn out, or is this the way the Camry wagon lift gate behaves when new?



Thanks,



Chris


I don't own one but I guarantee they are worn out. I've never looked but I've always heard that cheap replacemtents can be found at most auto parts stores.

Almost surely your gas cylinders are leaking. A symptom is that the problem is worse in cold weather.
