Tailgate Strut - Electric - powered lift strut in the electrically operated tailgate mechanism.

The strut supports the weight of the tailgate and drives it through its opening and closing travel under control of the tailgate control module, in place of the purely gas-charged strut used on a manually operated tailgate. It mounts between the body aperture and the tailgate frame.

A failing strut typically shows as a tailgate that drops or will not hold position, slow or uneven travel, or a cycle that aborts part-way and reverts to manual operation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the electric tailgate strut and what does it do?
The electric tailgate strut is the powered lift strut in the Range Rover Sport's electrically operated tailgate. It supports the tailgate's weight and drives it open and closed under the tailgate control module, in place of the gas-only strut used on a manual tailgate.
Which vehicle does it fit?
This electric tailgate strut fits the Range Rover Sport L494 2014-2022 with the powered tailgate. It's a Stabilus OEM strut. Powered struts are typically handed left or right, so check which side you need and that your vehicle has the electric tailgate before ordering.
How do I know the strut has failed?
A failing electric tailgate strut typically shows as a tailgate that drops or won't hold position, slow or uneven travel, or a powered cycle that aborts part-way and reverts to manual. Because the two struts share the load, a weak one often strains its partner.
Should both struts be replaced together?
Replacing both struts together is usually worth it, since the electric tailgate relies on a matched pair to lift evenly. If one has failed, the other has typically done the same work and mileage, so renewing both restores balanced, reliable powered operation.
