White lithium. It's probably your hatch hinges that are siezing up. The struts have a lot of tolerance between them.

Unless you disassemble the hinge, you have no choice but to spray, wipe and repeat.

For those of us not staying completely stock, does anyone know of an upgrade kit of some kind for dampner shocks?
