FAQs
Does this package include both left and right struts?
No, the Quinton Hazell QTS728006 is sold as a single unit suitable for either side.
How do I know if this fits my car?
Compare the OEM part number listed in your vehicle's service manual or on your existing strut against the Quinton Hazell QTS728006 specifications.
Is special calibration required after installation?
Some modern vehicles require a software 'normalization' or 'learning' procedure for the tailgate module after a new strut is installed; check your owner's manual.
Can I install this myself?
It is possible for experienced DIYers, but if you are uncomfortable working with automotive electrical components or mechanical latches, professional installation is advised.
What tools are needed for installation?
Generally, you will need a flat-head screwdriver or a trim removal tool to release the retaining clips and a support prop to hold the weight of the tailgate.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate closes partially then reverses
Check for obstructions in the hinge or latch area and perform a system reset according to your vehicle's service manual.
Motor runs but tailgate does not move
Verify the ball-joint connectors are securely snapped into the mounting brackets and check the strut mounting orientation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, confirm compatibility by cross-referencing your vehicle's specific OEM part number with the QTS728006. Due to the involvement of the vehicle's electrical system, it is recommended to disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent short circuits. Use a support prop to hold the tailgate open securely while removing the old strut. During care, avoid applying excessive lubricants to the strut shaft, as this can attract road grit and damage the internal seals. Periodically wipe the exposed rod with a clean, dry cloth to prevent debris buildup.
