What This Gas Strut Helps Address

  • Weak or failing lift support on the Subaru Legacy
  • Hood, hatch, or panel that drops instead of staying open
  • Uneven or slow opening and closing motion
  • Loss of holding force from an aging gas spring
  • Noise or binding caused by worn support hardware at the attachment points

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed and extended lengths, force rating, and socket-style end connections before installation. Match the 10 mm attachment diameters to the vehicle mounting points, and inspect the existing brackets or ball studs for wear before replacing the strut. Confirm the application against the vehicle year and trim details for the 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy.
