Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Support the hatch or liftgate securely before removing the old gas spring, then transfer the mounting points one side at a time to maintain control of the panel. Confirm that the replacement matches the vehicle’s listed configuration, especially on 2022-2024 Nissan Murano models with the temperature compensating valve note.
