Note: Always replace your struts in pairs, where applicable. Most liftgates have a strut on each side. Failure to replace both struts can result in a warped or damaged hinge.
Gas Strut with Exceptional Stability
Most gas struts consist of a tube filled with pressurized nitrogen gas, a piston, and rod. The Atlas Lift strut, however, has a dynamic damping groove inside the tube that regulates gas movement across the piston. This ensures your liftgate stays open when you want it open and shuts slowly without bouncing or slamming. Lastly, in contrast to struts that only have gas in the chamber, a few drops of oil have been mixed in to help seal the piston and lubricate the rod. This allows your liftgate to move more smoothly as the rod travels in and out of the tube.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a quick look at this custom fit hatch lift support. Now, this is going to replace one worn or damaged ball and socket gas strut for your vehicle's hatch. This is a custom fit part, and this is going to fit specifically the 2010 to 2013 Toyota Highlander. To confirm if this will work for your vehicle, just take advantage of our vehicle fit guide on this product page and input the year, make and model of your vehicle, and that will let you know if this part will work.
Now, the dampening technology provides smooth operation that eliminates bouncing or jumping. So, this is going to ensure frictionless movement in all weather conditions. This arm extends to hold your hatch open and then gently compresses while closing. And the metal ball and socket connectors that we've already been looking at here together, they're gonna install directly to your existing original equipment manufacturer fittings. And this nitride-coated steel shaft is corrosion resistant for a long-lasting performance.
Now, you will get one lift support, and the connection type once again is ball socket. And just give you a brief measurement here of the extended length, and I'm gonna be measuring center of socket to center of socket. We're sitting right at about 20 3/16 inches on that extended length. And the compressed length is gonna be an even 13 inches. This does have a limited lifetime warranty.
Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I hope it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
