How to Replace the Lift Supports on the Mitsubishi Freeca/Adventure Tailgate

Model: Mitsubishi Freeca MK 1 - Years 1997-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

The lift supports of a tailgate as large as that of the Freeca/Adventure are prone to wear due to their function, and being long and thin, they are subject to wear and tear. Let's see how to replace them easily. The parts cost less than $30 when purchased from major e-commerce platforms. First, you need to remove the old ones, which is very simple; just unscrew three bolts on the upper flange and three on the lower flange to remove the rod. In the same simple way, reinstall the new rod. Be careful to install it in the correct orientation. It may seem trivial, but it is not.
