richmondred01 2,307 #1 Posted March 5, 2016 Between myself and a friend we need 3 gas springs identified as toro part 78-3240. Has anyone ever used an alternative part for this. Toro wants 85.00. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,938 #5 Posted March 5, 2016 I'm not sure what year you have but they used a strut with no spring that was like the struts on hatchbacks. They also used a spring with a shock absorber. I had the latter type on my 2005 and hated it so I took the shock off and just used the spring. Just like the old days. And yes, that's the correct spring.
