Help your liftgate rise smoothly and stay open while you load cargo with the Tuff Support Liftgate Lift Support, part number 612421. This right-side support is a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester (All engines). It is intended to replace a worn original support on that side of the liftgate.
A liftgate lift support connects the liftgate to the vehicle body. It assists in raising the gate and helps hold it in the open position, so you don't have to hold it up by hand. Over time, a support can lose its ability to carry the gate's weight.
Signs this part may need replacing: The liftgate won't stay up on its own, drifts down after opening, or takes noticeably more effort to lift. If a weak right-side support is the cause, this part replaces it. Keep the liftgate securely supported while you swap the support, and follow the vehicle service information for removal and installation.
