Help keep your liftgate raised and out of the way while you load cargo with the Tuff Support Hatch Lift Support / Liftgate Lift Support, part number 612250. This left-side lift support is a replacement for the 2012-2014 Subaru Impreza and the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek.
A lift support is designed to help carry the weight of the hatch as it opens and to hold it in the raised position. Tuff Support lists this part as both a hatch lift support and a liftgate lift support, so you may see it under either name.
Signs a lift support may need replacing: the hatch drifts down or won't stay up on its own, feels heavier than usual to lift, or has to be held or propped open. If a worn left-side support is the cause, this part replaces it. The supports on each side share the load, so consider replacing the right-side support at the same time.
Which vehicles does Tuff Support 612250 fit?
It is listed for the 2012-2014 Subaru Impreza and the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Which side is this lift support for?
Tuff Support 612250 is cataloged for the left side of the hatch.
What does a hatch lift support do?
It helps carry the weight of the hatch as it opens and is designed to hold the liftgate in the raised position.
What are signs my lift support may be failing?
Common signs include a hatch that drifts down, won't stay open on its own, or feels heavier than usual to raise.
Should I replace both sides at once?
The two supports share the hatch's weight, so replacing the left and right sides together is recommended for even support. This listing is the left-side support.
