 >Thank you for your interest in purchasing our quality replacement parts from
 >Teutonix Automotive.  You asked about price and availability for rear hatch
 >shocks for the Vanagon vehicles.  We offer replacement parts that are an
 >improvement over the originals.  The improvement is that while these won't
 >spring up and hit your chin with the hatch, they are very reluctant to lower.
 >This is a very good thing if you've ever had a Vanagon hatch hit you in the
 >back of the head.  Often we've seen an owner with weak shocks install one of
 >our Boge/ hydrolift rear hatch shocks and have no more problems.  These are
 >very effective in helping another weak shock.  If replaced in pairs, the rear
 >hatch won't raise itself, and it will require approximately thirty pounds of
 >weight to lower the hatch even with a rear wiper.  We are confidant that
 >purchasers will not be disappointed with this brand and model.  Even if you
 >don't purchase from us, beware of the Suspander Brand.  They are grossly
 >substandard and Teutonix refuses to sell them anymore.
 >
 >The price is $43.00 each, shipping included, anywhere in the U.S.
 >ask for part # 251 829 332  Hydrolift.
 >
 >Teutonix accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express over the 'net
 >or the phone, cashiers' checks, travelor's checks, money orders upon receipt,
 >and personal checks with a wait.

 >Teutonix is family owned and operated.  Sorry, we don't have an 800 number
 >yet.  We're working on getting one and looking into having a website built.
