The Quinton Hazell Electric Tailgate Strut (QTS728006) is an essential replacement component for vehicle owners seeking to restore smooth, automated operation to their power liftgate. It is designed for those experiencing sluggish, noisy, or failing tailgate systems, offering a precise fit for compatible vehicle models. While this unit provides reliable automated movement, it is a technical automotive part that requires proper installation to ensure safety and system calibration; users should verify OEM compatibility carefully before purchase to avoid fitment errors.

No, the Quinton Hazell QTS728006 is sold as a single unit suitable for either side.
Compare the OEM part number listed in your vehicle's service manual or on your existing strut against the Quinton Hazell QTS728006 specifications.
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.
It is possible for experienced DIYers, but if you are uncomfortable working with automotive electrical components or mechanical latches, professional installation is advised.
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.
Check for obstructions in the hinge or latch area and perform a system reset according to your vehicle's service manual.
Verify the ball-joint connectors are securely snapped into the mounting brackets and check the strut mounting orientation.
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.
