Hi, are you sure it's the strut. I thought that on my last jimny but traced the problem to the lower door hinge being stiff due to the crud it seems to attract. A good dose of WD40 cured it . When i got my current jimny the lower hinge had the same problem. Hope this helps

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Seconded what Womble said.
On mine it is the lower hinge that seized too. Quite difficult to get lube in there.
One of my bonnet hinges seized as well, and the bonnet started to bend and the hinge mounting distort. Had to get all the plastic scuttle off to sort that.
