Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Match the rod and tube connection style to the original support, and confirm fitment against the vehicle’s spoiler or liftgate configuration where applicable. Replace worn supports in pairs when the opposite side shows similar wear.
