Product Details

This liftgate support is used to restore controlled opening and holding action at the rear liftgate on the Kia Sorento.

If you are searching for a 2011-2014 Kia Sorento liftgate lift support or a Tuff Support 612532 replacement, this part matches the listed OE references and vehicle configuration.

Common Issues It Can Address

  • Liftgate drops instead of staying open
  • Rear hatch feels heavy or difficult to raise
  • Liftgate opens unevenly or loses support
  • Original gas support no longer holds position
  • Rear cargo access becomes harder to use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify body code XM and confirm the vehicle does not have a power liftgate before ordering. Match the OE number on the original support, if available, to 81780-2P500 or 81770-2P500. For best results, replace worn lift supports when the liftgate no longer stays open securely and inspect the mounting points for wear before installation.
