What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds a panel open
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled opening and closing movement
• Drooping hatch, trunk, or panel support on the listed INFINITI vehicles
• Replacement needs after gas pressure loss in the original support
• Fitment matching for a direct replacement search by part number

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings against the removed support before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year and model: Fits 2009 INFINITI G37, N/A, Fits 2010-2011 INFINITI G37, N/A, and Fits 2011 INFINITI G25, N/A. Compare the existing support’s mounting style and attachment diameter to ensure the replacement matches the original hardware interface.
