Liftgate Lift Support

Liftgate supports, or gas struts, are pressurized cylinders designed to hold up a liftgate or rear hatch. Over time, they can fail due to a pressure drop, often caused by exposure to extreme temperatures, dust, or contaminants. Cold weather, in particular, can reduce the gas pressure inside the struts, making them less effective at supporting the gate during cooler conditions.

Liftgate Lift Support Failure Symptoms
  • The hatch may feel heavier or fail to stay open as high as before due to a gas leak in the lift support
  • Grease or oil leaking from the existing shocks
  • Seeping noise or creaks coming from the shocks when lifting the hatch

Rear Hatch Struts-944
Simple install, perfect fit, reasonable price, shipped quick and arrived well and safely packaged. If i'm forgetting something it may only be that there's a lifetime warranty on these parts.

Hatch lift support
Installed it on my 968. Very easy, just make sure you disconnect the rear defogger clip first and then just pop out the ball and socket joint. There is a clip inside that you have to open a bit for the end to slip on. Took me 1 min on each side. I could tell the difference immediately.

Porsche Hatch Lift Support Right (924 944 968) - Stabilus OEM 94451234800
Seems to be very high quality. However gas shock was extremely stiff, very hard to compress. Finally after installation of L and R shocks, Porsche 944 Turbo rear deck glass lifts up VERY QUICKLY!
