FAQs

What vehicles is this gas strut compatible with?

This gas strut is designed for the left rear liftgate of Hyundai Tucson and compatible Kia models that feature an automatic liftgate system.

Is this strut for the left or right side?

This specific part is designed for the left side of the rear liftgate.

What is the main benefit of replacing a gas strut?

Replacing a worn-out gas strut restores the liftgate's ability to open smoothly, stay securely in the open position, and close with controlled ease, enhancing convenience and safety.

Do I need special tools to install this gas strut?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools such as wrenches or socket sets. It's recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual for specific tool requirements and procedures.

How do I know if my gas strut needs replacement?

Signs include the liftgate feeling very heavy, not staying open on its own, slowly drifting down when open, or exhibiting jerky movements during operation.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, many owners can perform this replacement themselves with basic mechanical knowledge and tools. However, if you are not comfortable, it is best to have a professional mechanic install it.

What maintenance is required for this gas strut?

Gas struts are generally maintenance-free. It's important to keep the mounting points clean and ensure the strut shaft is not damaged.

Troubleshooting

Liftgate does not open or close smoothly after installation.

Double-check that the strut is correctly aligned and securely mounted at both the liftgate and body connection points. Ensure no other components are interfering with its movement.

Liftgate does not stay open.

Verify that the correct strut for the left side was installed and that it is fully seated. If the issue persists, the new strut may be faulty or there could be an issue with the liftgate mechanism itself.

Strut seems stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the strut is not binding due to misalignment. Check that all mounting hardware is present and correctly installed. Do not force the strut; if it remains stiff, re-evaluate the installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This D2P gas strut (part number 81770D3100) is designed for the left side of the rear liftgate on Hyundai Tucson and compatible Kia models. Always verify your vehicle's make, model, and year, and check if it features an automatic liftgate system before purchasing.

Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old gas strut and mounting the new one in its place. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported, and follow the vehicle manufacturer's specific procedures for gas strut replacement. Pay close attention to the orientation and mounting points to ensure correct operation and prevent damage.
