Autopart International 1201-317580 Hatch Lift Support Strut

The Autopart International 1201-317580 is a direct-fit replacement hatch strut designed to restore proper lift support to your vehicle's rear hatch, liftgate, or tailgate. Also commonly referred to as a hatch lift support, tailgate strut, or rear hatch shock, this part keeps the hatch securely propped open during loading and unloading — preventing unexpected closure and reducing the risk of injury.

Key Features:

• Direct-fit, OE-style replacement for precise fitment and hassle-free installation
• Gas-charged design provides consistent, reliable lift force to hold the hatch open
• Engineered to match original equipment ride and performance characteristics
• Durable construction withstands repeated use and exposure to the elements
• Restores smooth, controlled hatch operation when original strut has weakened or failed

Hatch struts naturally lose their gas charge over time, resulting in a hatch that falls unexpectedly or requires manual support to stay open. Replacing worn lift supports in pairs is recommended to ensure balanced, even support across the hatch opening. The Autopart International 1201-317580 is engineered to deliver dependable performance and a long service life.
