Common Replacement Uses

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds the panel open
• Slow, uneven, or heavy opening action
• Hatch or liftgate that drops unexpectedly
• Loss of controlled closing due to reduced gas pressure
• Noise or binding from worn support hardware at the socket ends

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original strut’s extended length, compressed length, force rating, and plastic socket attachment before ordering. Compare the mounting points on the vehicle and confirm the replacement matches the OE-style dimensions for your Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana, or related GM application. Replace only with the correct side and application-specific support when the vehicle uses matched lift struts.
