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

• 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.
