I replaced mine with Motormite 95051

As I recall, I had to shim a hole, but the strut was and still is strong in its action.

Be sure you get to bolt (and I'm working from memory and somewhat vague) in the right direction.  If not, with a small side load, the cylinder shaft can brush the bolt and SNAP.  Mine did, fortunately in a ground test.
