J.C. Whitney JH63040010 Liftgate Lift Support OEM Replacement Left Hand

The J.C. Whitney JH63040010 is an OEM replacement liftgate lift support designed for the left-hand (driver) side of the Honda Pilot (2016–2022). This gas-charged strut restores proper liftgate function, ensuring the rear hatch opens smoothly and stays securely in the raised position for safe, hands-free cargo access.

Key Features:

• OEM Replacement Quality — engineered to match original factory specifications for proper fit and performance
• Gas-Charged Design — nitrogen-pressurized construction delivers consistent lifting force to assist with opening the heavy rear liftgate
• Left-Hand (LH) Position — designed specifically for the driver-side liftgate mounting location
• Direct Bolt-On Installation — snap-in ball socket end fittings allow for straightforward replacement with basic hand tools
• Restores Safe Operation — replaces worn or failed struts that cause the liftgate to sag, feel heavy, or drop unexpectedly

Important: The 2016–2022 Honda Pilot is available with either a manual liftgate or a power liftgate system. These two systems use completely different and non-interchangeable lift support components. Verify your vehicle's liftgate type before ordering. Power liftgate systems (found on EX-L, Touring, and Elite trims) use a motorized actuator on one side and a gas-assist strut on the other, while manual liftgate systems use two gas-charged struts. It is recommended to replace liftgate supports in pairs to ensure balanced, safe operation.
