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.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Atlas Lift Custom Fit Rear Hatch Gas Strut. Now, this is a custom-fit part. It is designed to fit the 1984 to 1996 Chevrolet Corvettes. And on a custom-fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the Fit Guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now, this part is gonna replace a worn or damaged gas strut for your vehicle's rear hatch.
They use a dampening groove on the inside tube, which prevents bouncing, provides a nice, smooth operation in any temperature. Basically, it extends the rod out from the tube to open the rear hatch and hold it in place. And then, it'll compress the rod slowly to close the rear hatch without slamming shut. Does use an internal wiper, which will prevent sticking and reduce friction by lubricating the rod with oil. And this is a quick tool-free installation, basically it uses a ball socket connection that'll connect directly to your vehicle's OEM connections.
This does have a black powder-coat steel tube, and then the rod itself is a nitrate-coated rod, and they're both rust resistant. It is for a quantity of one gas strut. Now, the extended length, which it's in right now, is gonna be 33 5/8 inches. If it's compressed, the compressed length is 21 13/16 inches. One note I do wanna mention on gas struts, always replace your struts in pairs where applicable, 'cause most rear hatches have a strut on each side.
Failure to replace both struts could result in a warped or damaged hinge. Also, always remember if you have any questions regarding this product or any of our products, please don't hesitate to contact us via phone, chat, or email, or if you have purchased any product, please send us pictures of it being used in your application, 'cause we'd love to see how those products are working out for you.
