I've been there and done that. Auto Zone has not a clue what the spring force is for any of their struts. They sell them as replacements for your particular make and model automobile. You can buy a lot of struts trying to find the right one for your KR application. Making a few measurements and doing a very little math can be a lot cheaper than hit or miss hunting in an auto parts store. I calculated that I needed two gas springs at 20 lb each. At my local auto parts store they let me measure the forces of all their gas springs with my bathroom scales. The lightest force gas spring, that they had, was 60 lb with a 16 in extension; no joy there. True, the auto parts store prices were half what Magnus charged, but if it is not what you need, it's not much of a bargain. Sid Wood, KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD [email protected]
You can get 'em at Auto Zone, probably cheaper there too. http://community.webtv.net/paulwasp/paulwaspspad
