This part cross-references AMS Automotive 7181L for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Liftgate that drops or will not stay open
• Weak or uneven rear hatch support
• Slow or inconsistent liftgate movement
• Cold-weather loss of hold force on supported applications
• Worn gas strut performance on the left side

Installation Notes

Verify left-side placement before installation and compare the original support’s compressed length, extended length, and socket style to confirm match. Support the liftgate securely before removing the old strut, then transfer the plastic socket ends to the OE mounting points. After installation, cycle the liftgate several times to confirm smooth operation and proper hold force.
