Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application before installation and compare the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and 10 mm ball socket ends to the original support. For safe, reliable operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the same opening. Confirm the mounting orientation and test the panel movement after installation.
