817802P501 Hyundai / KIA LIFTER ASSY-TAIL GATE,RH, Price: 44.37$, Weight: 0.404kg

Right-Side Tailgate Lift Support for Hyundai Kia SUVs

This RH rear hatch lifter restores smooth, controlled opening and secure holding of the tailgate. Built to OEM standards, it prevents sudden drops and annoying bounce. Perfect for daily use, it keeps cargo loading safe and easy while protecting hinges and the latch.

Why this part is needed ✅

Over time, gas pressure inside the strut fades, seals age, and the rod can corrode. The result is a heavy gate that refuses to rise or slowly sinks. A healthy lifter reduces strain on the opposite side, preserves alignment, and avoids damage to trim and wiring.

How it works ️

The assembly uses a gas-charged cylinder and a guided piston rod to counterbalance tailgate weight. Internal valves control speed, so the hatch lifts evenly and stays open at the top. Brackets at each end lock into factory points for a quick, precise fit.

What happens if it’s broken ⚠️

Expect slow rise, sudden collapse in cold weather, squeaks, or a hatch that leans to one side. This can injure users, slam the gate, and overload hinges and latches. If one side fails, replace both sides together for balanced operation.

Tech notes

Direct-fit RH side. Corrosion-resistant finish. Pre-charged, maintenance-free. Install with basic hand tools; support the hatch during replacement.
