J.C. Whitney JH610708 Liftgate Lift Support OEM Replacement 74820SCVA01

The J.C. Whitney JH610708 is an OEM-replacement liftgate lift support designed to restore proper function to the rear hatch of compatible Honda Element vehicles (2003–2011). This gas-charged strut acts as a pressurized rod-cylinder spring that extends to hold the full weight of the vehicle's liftgate open, keeping it securely raised during loading and unloading.

Over time, factory lift supports lose pressure and fail to hold the liftgate open reliably. This direct-fit replacement restores the original lift force and operation without modification. It is a single-side unit (RH=LH — the same part fits both driver and passenger sides).

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for OEM part number 74820-SCV-A01 (also replaces 74820-SCV-305)
• Also cross-references: SG226011, 4585, PM1105
• Gas-charged design provides consistent, reliable liftgate support
• Extended Length: 22.83 inches; Compressed Length: 16.13 inches
• Single unit — same part fits both left and right sides (RH=LH)
• Designed for straightforward installation; no special tools required
• Meets OE specifications for fit, form, and function

This lift support is the correct replacement for the Honda Element liftgate strut and is engineered to match original equipment performance standards.
