Focus Auto Parts Liftgate Lift Support P/N:86831

Hold your Jeep's rear hatch open with steady, controlled lift using the Focus Auto Parts Liftgate Lift Support (MPN 86831). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2016 Jeep Patriot [All], where two supports work together to raise and hold the rear liftgate.

• Gas-charged support: Provides the dampened force needed to raise the rear liftgate and hold it open.
• Measured travel: Compressed length 10.2 in, extended length 16.77 in, with a 6.57 in stroke.
• Application quantity: The listed application uses two supports; this part is sold individually, so order two for a complete replacement.
• Country of origin: China.

Over time a worn support loses gas pressure and can no longer hold the hatch, letting it drift down or requiring you to prop it up. Signs it may need replacing include a liftgate that won't stay up, slow or weak lift, or a support that feels soft when compressed. If a failed support is the cause, this unit helps restore proper holding force. For balanced operation, replacing both sides together as a matched pair is recommended.
