They are needed, I used mine on my 2nd gen and I'm pretty sure you need them on the 1st generation as well.

Does anyone have a website where they check what maintenance service they should do according to schedule?
I've been using my local dealer (southwestinfiniti.com), but I've passed 240,000 and my model caps out at 240,000 miles.
Lol, so I have no idea what to do next.

Recently my trunk doesn't open as easily (non-motorized). I would be able to open it and the rest would open all the way up, but seems like over time it doesn't do it itself as much anymore.
I'm pretty sure I've caused this over time. I tried to put some lithium greese on them (in red in the photo) and it seems like it helped just barely. Washing my car so often back in the day I may have wiped down also the area I'm sure because before the lithium grease it was dry as a bone just dirty, but as I mention new lithium grease after cleaning the dirt off hasn't really helped much.
Any other ideas on what I can try and do? I didn't want to try wd-40 without asking on the forum first.

Jonas, mine is the same, it is very sluggish. I have thought of spraying the cylinder rods and hinges with clear Silicone spray lubricant, which I have not done yet. I figure the hydraulic cylinders are probably getting tired.

I think you just have to cycle the usual major maintenance every after 30k miles. Which means in your case, the next multiple major maintenance will be at 270k. In between the 30k cycle, I would just do the usual small regular preventive maintenance stuff every after 3,500 miles.

Not that big of a deal to replace, just thought there would be an easy way to get them sliding easy again. I'll have to try Wayne's suggestion.
Does anyone think WD40 would be a bad idea? I've never seen anything make hinges swing open like crazy forever after putting some wd40 on it.

Jonas, I will try the silicone lube today, I will let you know if it helps.
JONAS- I just spayed the hatch strut rods with silicone lube and the hinges with a penetrating rust preservative. It helped a bit and quietened down one strut that had a light squeak, but the results were only minimal. It moves a bit better but I think new struts are the only answer if they get worse.

It looks relatively simple but I'm just stuck at the 12v cable that I need to attach to the constant power 12v. I tried a blue/white cable and nothing and then I tried a yellow one and nothing. Can you see if you can see the cigarette wiring or any other hot wire from these pics.

I go to http://www.mycarfax.com and in your case at 240,000 miles:
Engine oil-drain/refill
Engine coolant system-drain/flush/refill
Inspect
Transfer case fluid level
Transmission fluid level
Replace
Cabin air filter
engine air/oil filters
247,500 miles
Drain/refill oil
Replace oil filter
It looks like after 247,500 miles, services every 7,500 miles.
