Is one end a rod that comes out & in?
You should look up the brand name on a lifting ram on a rear door. A dead one with no gas in it would probably work.
Is there any brand on it?
Is there an engineering supply place near you? like where you buy wheel bearings?

It is an oil filled damper - the ball joint ends are really loose but I think it was "meant to be" that way!
There are several engineering type supply places around here - I guess I'll have to start doing the rounds and pretend I am a company. Lots of places here only serve other businesses you see - that's why I prefer to shop on the internet...
