Detailed Description

This StrongArm tailgate lift support is engineered for the 1998-1999 Subaru Forester right-side application and is built to match the required dimensions and mounting style.

Common Problems It Can Solve

  • Tailgate that drops instead of staying open
  • Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
  • Slow or uneven tailgate movement
  • Noise or binding when opening or closing the rear hatch
  • Difficulty holding the tailgate in the raised position

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1998-1999 Subaru Forester and confirm right-side placement before ordering. Match the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and end fittings to the original support for proper alignment. Replace the lift support on the opposite side at the same time when the vehicle uses a paired setup, and support the tailgate securely during service.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed typical industry standards for fit and operating consistency. The 6220R is built for specific application matching, helping ensure correct tailgate support on the Subaru Forester.
