Tailgate Lift Support - AMS Automotive Part Number 6217

Gas Charged Lift Supports are energy storage devices which create energy by compressing gas inside a cylinder. When closed; the energy is stored. When opened; the energy is released to raise hoods; trunks and hatches and hold them safely in an open position. To insure safe and effective operation; the lift support must match the specific application. After assembly; each AMS Gas Charged Lift Support is tested in four different positions during compression and extension to measure speed and force
