HINGE ASSY-REAR GATE

Rear Tailgate Hinge Assembly for Nissan Pickup ??

This hinge assembly is the key joint that lets the rear gate open and close smoothly while holding the gate aligned with the body. It is needed whenever the tailgate starts sagging, feels stiff, makes metal-to-metal noise, or won’t shut flush. A strong, correctly fitted hinge keeps the latch working properly and protects the bed edges from wear.

How It Works

The hinge mounts between the tailgate and the rear body section. Its pivot pin and bush surfaces guide the gate through a controlled arc, sharing the load across both sides. Good hinge geometry keeps the tailgate level, reduces vibration, and prevents twisting under weight when you load or step on the gate.

If the Hinge is Worn or Broken

A damaged hinge can cause a drooping tailgate, misaligned latch, uneven gaps, and paint chipping around the corners. In severe cases the gate may bind, pop open, or drop unexpectedly—risking injury and damaging the rear panel. Replacing the hinge restores safe operation and tight fitment ✅.
