The lift struts are in need of replacement. They can be sourced at any good auto parts store.

They are both correct. To remove them, you will need a torx for one end and the other end is a ball socket that is held together by a u-clip. Remove the clip to take it apart. NOTE: Make sure to safely prop the hatch open. They hurt if they fall.
