Detailed Description

The FCS 84221L tailgate lift support is a body hardware replacement for the left side of the tailgate on select Subaru models. Its measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are important for matching the original tailgate geometry so the lift support can hold and move the tailgate through its intended range.
