Left Tailgate Lifter Assembly for Rear Hatch
This OE-grade driver‑side lift support keeps the rear door balanced and easy to move. It assists the hatch to rise smoothly, holds it open safely, and softens the close. If you load groceries, tools, or strollers, this lifter prevents sudden drops and reduces strain on hinges, latch, and power tailgate motor.
How it works
A gas‑charged strut with a precision piston and oil damping controls speed through the stroke. As you open the hatch, internal nitrogen pushes the rod out, adding lifting force; during closing, valves slow the movement to avoid slam. Robust brackets and ball joints ensure quiet, play‑free operation.
Why you need it ️
Correct lift force keeps the hatch aligned, protects wiring and trim, and helps the power unit last longer. It’s a direct bolt‑on, no coding, best replaced in pairs for even support.
If it’s failing ⚠️
Signs include hatch dropping in cold weather, uneven lift, creaks, or the power tailgate stopping mid‑travel. Continued use can bend hinges, stress the latch, and risk injury.
