J.C. Whitney JV63040002 Liftgate Lift Support Strut Left Inner OEM Replacement

The J.C. Whitney JV63040002 is an OEM-replacement liftgate lift support strut for the Volkswagen Touareg (2004–2010). Designed as a direct replacement for OEM part number 7L6827550E (superseded to 7L6827550L), this gas-charged strut restores proper liftgate function and keeps your hatch safely open while loading or unloading.

This lift support is a pressurized gas cylinder that extends to counterbalance the weight of the liftgate, preventing it from falling unexpectedly. It installs in the inner, left (driver-side) position and is compatible with both standard and spare-tire-mount liftgate configurations, on vehicles from VIN 7L6050001 forward. Note: This part is not compatible with power hatch/liftgate equipped vehicles.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement for part number 7L6827550E (current OEM: 7L6827550L)
• Pressurized gas-cylinder design for smooth, controlled liftgate support
• Left (driver-side) inner mounting position
• Compatible with standard and spare-tire-mount liftgate configurations
• Excludes power hatch / power liftgate applications
• Applicable from chassis VIN 7L6050001 forward

Replacing worn or failed liftgate struts restores safe, reliable operation of your hatch or tailgate. A failed strut can cause the liftgate to drop unexpectedly — this replacement restores full holding force and smooth travel.
