ARANA Liftgate Struts for GMC Acadia 2007-2016, 2-Pack — High-Carbon Steel, All-Weather Durability

Robust, ready-to-install liftgate struts designed specifically to replace worn or failing rear hatch supports on GMC Acadia models from 2007 through 2016.

If your Acadia’s liftgate no longer holds open, is slow to rise, or drops unexpectedly, these ARANA replacement gas struts restore smooth, controlled hatch operation without the dealer price. Engineered from high-carbon Grade 45 steel with multi-layer chrome plating and wear-resistant hydraulic fluid, the pair delivers long service life and all-weather reliability for Base, Denali, SL, SLE, SLT and the 2015–2016 SLT1/SLT2 variants when matched to the OEM numbers listed.

Will these struts fit my GMC Acadia?

Compatibility depends on matching the OEM part number and your vehicle year/trim. ARANA supplies the struts to replace a range of factory part numbers—confirm yours against the list to ensure correct fit and operation.

• Replaceable OEM numbers: 20782756, 22918204, 22918205, 84050727, 84298332, 84298333, 20762755, 20782755.
• Fits GMC Acadia models from 2007–2016, including Base, Denali, SL, SLE, SLT and 2015–2016 SLT1/SLT2 when numbers match.
• Measure length and end-fit style if uncertain; compare with your old struts before ordering.

How durable are these ARANA liftgate struts in extreme weather?

These struts are built for wide temperature ranges and frequent cycles. Industrial 45# high-carbon steel, mirror chrome plating and premium hydraulic fluid help resist rust, pressure loss and wear even in very hot or cold climates.

• Operates reliably in temperatures from −40°F to 110°F.
• Multi-layer chrome plating reduces corrosion and surface wear.
• Designed to withstand 50,000+ compression cycles without noticeable force loss.

How difficult is the installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is quick and straightforward for most DIYers—no specialty tools or pro service required. ARANA designed the replacement struts for fast swap-out using basic tools, saving dealer fees and downtime.

• Typical installation time: about 5 minutes for both struts.
• Only a screwdriver (or standard ratchet set for some clips) is usually required.
• Includes standard ball-socket ends that snap onto factory mounting points.

What performance can I expect compared to OEM parts?

These ARANA struts aim to match or exceed the functional life of many factory units at a much lower cost. Their materials and hydraulic fill are chosen to reduce leaks and maintain consistent lift pressure through heavy use.

• Engineered to resist leakage and pressure loss better than ordinary aftermarket struts.
• Intended lifespan exceeds typical replacement intervals—fewer repeat purchases.
• Sold as a two-piece kit so both sides work evenly after installation.
