If you are searching for a Jeep Cherokee liftgate strut, rear hatch support, or StrongArm 4291 replacement, this unit matches the listed vehicle application and dimensions.

What It Helps Address

  • Liftgate that drops too quickly when opened
  • Rear hatch that will not stay raised
  • Weak or worn gas strut performance
  • Uneven or inconsistent liftgate movement
  • Noisy or rough liftgate opening and closing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing lift support dimensions and end fittings before installation. This part is listed as a specific fit for the Jeep Cherokee, so match the vehicle year and liftgate hardware carefully. For safe operation and balanced support, replace liftgate supports in pairs when servicing the rear hatch system.
