This MONROE gas spring (part code ML6370) is engineered to provide consistent and controlled movement for your vehicle's tailgate or cargo area lid. It is designed to replace your original equipment, ensuring a proper fit and function. The gas spring utilizes compressed gas to assist in lifting and holding the tailgate open, making loading and unloading cargo easier and safer. Its durable construction is built to withstand the rigors of daily use and varying environmental conditions. Properly functioning gas springs are essential for the convenience and safety of accessing your vehicle's storage space. Worn-out springs can make the tailgate heavy and difficult to lift, or worse, cause it to drop unexpectedly.
