Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, and end fittings before installation. Match the plastic socket connections to the original mounting points on the vehicle. Confirm the application against your Dodge Durango trim and body configuration before ordering, and replace supports in a stable, supported position to avoid sudden movement during service.
