Hyundai iLoad iMax Main Tailgate Gas Struts 2007-2017 (Pair) — Nitro Struts

Bring the lift back to your Hyundai iLoad iMax tailgate with this pair of factory-spec replacement gas struts from Nitro Struts. When your original struts fail, you're left holding the tailgate up with one hand or wedging it open with whatever's nearby. This pair restores proper one-handed operation, at a fraction of the dealer price.

Standard or Heavy Duty?

This is the factory-spec replacement — the right choice for an unmodified iLoad or iMax with no added rear accessories. If your van has a roof rack, ladder rack, awning, signage, or rear spoiler adding weight, our heavy-duty pair uses a higher Newton rating to handle the extra load.

Installation Notes

Tailgate strut replacement is one of the easier DIY jobs on a car — usually 10–15 minutes with no special tools. Open the tailgate fully and prop it securely before starting (a second person makes this much easier). Pop the spring clip on each ball socket, lift the old strut off, and clip the new one on in the same orientation. Always replace both as a pair — running a fresh strut against a worn one will kill the new one early.

Signs You Need New Struts

• Tailgate drops or sags on its own
• Slow, weak rise when you let go
• Particularly bad on cold mornings (gas pressure drops with temperature)
• Visible oil residue on the chrome shaft, or hissing when compressed
• Tailgate needs to be held open or propped with something
