Application Details

This Tuff Support 613173 lift support is specified for rear hatch or liftgate service on 1987-1994 Dodge Shadow, 1989-1994 Chrysler Shadow, and 1987-1994 Plymouth Sundance models without a spoiler. Use this part when replacing a worn support that no longer holds the hatch in position or has lost consistent lift assistance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Issues It May Solve

• Hatch or liftgate that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent opening support
• Slow or uneven rear hatch movement
• Gas strut wear from age and repeated use
• Difficulty accessing the cargo area on Shadow and Sundance models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and spoiler configuration before ordering. Confirm the existing support matches the 613173 application and inspect mounting points for wear or damage before installation. For best results, replace supports in matched applications when the vehicle uses paired lift supports.

Quality Assurance

Tuff Support is owned by ISC Industries, a lift support manufacturer based in Turkey. That manufacturing background supports consistent application coverage for replacement lift support service on Chrysler Shadow, Dodge Shadow, and Plymouth Sundance vehicles.
