Verify the vehicle year, model, and liftgate speaker configuration before ordering. Compare the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and socket-style end fittings to the original part to confirm match. Install on the correct Jeep Patriot or Jeep Compass application listed above, and inspect both mounting points for wear before fitting the new strut.
