The doors are held open by a combination of a torsion bar and a gas strut. If the torsion bar isn't broken or missing then it doesn't need to be replaced. What I think you mean needs replacing is the strut. It is a black cylinder that attaches to the rear of the door. I think they run in the neighborhood of $70 each. You may also need an adjustment of the torsion bars but first install the new struts. A quick test for the need for new struts, prop open the door, remove the strut, slowly lower door to close. It should remain open 2-6 inches measured from lip of door to sill. If it does stay open 2-6 inches go ahead and order the struts and you won't even need an adjustment.
