What It Helps Fix

• Tailgate that drops too quickly when opened
• Rear hatch that will not stay raised
• Weak or uneven lift support action
• Hard-to-open or hard-to-close tailgate movement
• Noise or binding from a worn lift support

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the lift support on the right side with the correct specific-fit part number 6219R to match the original mounting style and travel length. Verify the compressed length, extended length, and end types before installation so the replacement aligns with the Subaru Forester tailgate hardware. For balanced operation, inspect the opposite-side support at the same time.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The brand also recommends replacing lift supports in pairs to maintain safe, reliable tailgate support.
