Application Details

This liftgate support is used to restore controlled opening and holding action for rear liftgates on older GM body platforms. If your Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, Pontiac 6000, or Chevrolet Celebrity has a liftgate that drops, will not stay open, or moves unevenly, Tuff Support 610873 addresses the worn support condition directly.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Liftgate that will not stay open
• Weak or slow rear hatch movement
• Drooping liftgate on Buick Century and Chevrolet Celebrity models
• Uneven or inconsistent lift support action
• Wear-related loss of gas strut pressure

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, make, and model before ordering. Match the liftgate support to the rear hatch application listed for your vehicle. Inspect mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before installation, and replace any damaged attachment points as needed.

Quality Assurance

Tuff Support is owned by ISC Industries, a lift support manufacturer based in Turkey. Part number 610873 is cataloged for the listed GM applications and built for direct replacement use in those fitments.
