Installation Notes

Electric tailgate strut replacement is more involved than a standard gas strut — these units integrate the motor, gas spring, and control wiring. Allow 45–60 minutes per side and disconnect the battery before starting to avoid triggering the lift mechanism during install. Most jobs need a Torx driver set. If you're not comfortable with auto electrical work, any auto mechanic can fit these.

Signs You Need New Struts

• The tailgate struggles to lift or won’t stay open.
• Opening or closing is uneven or inconsistent.
• The tailgate stops partway through its travel.
• These symptoms can have other causes, so check the power tailgate system and confirm fitment before ordering.
