Left Tailgate Lift Support (LH) for Hyundai/Kia SUV
Keep your rear door safe and easy to use. This tailgate lift support (left side) holds the hatch open, raises it smoothly, and balances weight on the hinge side. It’s the right fix when the old gas strut is weak, leaking, or noisy. Built to OEM standards with the correct force rating, it restores smooth lift and secure hold at full height.
Why you need it
A healthy liftgate strut prevents sudden drop, protects hinges and latch, and makes loading effortless. Replacing the LH unit keeps the hatch level—vital on vehicles that use a pair of supports.
How it works
A sealed nitrogen gas cylinder and oil-damped piston push a hardened chrome rod. Internal valves regulate speed so the hatch opens controlled and stays up. The LH support clips onto factory ball studs for a quick, clean install.
What if it fails ⚠️
Signs include hatch sagging, slow lift in cold, oily film, squeak or clunk, or the door twisting because only one side works. Driving like this can strain the latch, crack trim, and overload a power lift motor—risking injury.
Notes
- Left side (LH) specific; best replaced in pairs for balance.
- Direct-fit, no drilling; retainers clip on with hand tools ️.
- Support the hatch during service and wear eye protection.
