Bring the lift back to your Subaru Outback BR tailgate with this pair of tailgate gas struts from Nitro Struts. When the factory struts fail, you're left holding the tailgate up with one hand or wedging it open with whatever's nearby. This pair fixes that properly, for a fraction of the dealer price.

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

Great gas struts fast postage so easy to fit highly recommend
Great quality prompt
Order arrived in good time. Fitted using supplied hardware, works perfectly.
good product well priced and quick delivery
Perfect fit to my 2010 Outback. I was quoted an outrageous price by the local subaru dealer for replacements. Shipped to NZ at a sensible cost. No comment on long term durability as I only fitted them this morning but if they last 50, 000km they'll see the car to the end of its life. My advice is to order as soon as the original struts start to slip because the hatch gets VERY heavy when they completely give up a few weeks later.
Awesome struts, installed yesterday on the Outback in about 20 minutes and the boot now opens and closes like new! Should have purchased a few weeks earlier, would have saved myself a couple of knocks on the head!
The original struts I ordered were a bit long. Grant was very helpful in replacing for the correct length.... All working perfectly now.
