Dukuge Liftgate Struts for Subaru Forester 2014-2018, 2-Pack OEM-Style Gas Shock Pair

If your Forester's rear hatch no longer stays open or feels heavy to lift, these gas-charged struts are made to match factory dimensions and mounting points so installation is fast and reliable. The Dukuge pair replaces both sides with OEM-equivalent parts, offering consistent pressure and a snug fit without modifying the vehicle. They come pre-assembled with ball-stud fittings and the same mounting locations as common Subaru part numbers to ensure correct alignment and operation.

How will these struts improve everyday use of my hatch?

Replacing worn struts returns predictable, one-handed operation of the liftgate and prevents sudden drops that can damage cargo or injure hands. The updated gas pressure keeps the hatch in an open position and reduces the effort needed to lift the door.

• Restores smooth opening and controlled closing
• Prevents accidental slams and protects cargo
• Uniform performance on both sides with matched pair

Do these parts fit my Subaru Forester exactly?

Yes — the Dukuge struts are produced to align with the 2014–2018 Forester tailgate mounting points and match several OEM reference numbers for fit verification. They are offered as a direct swap, so no custom brackets or drilling are required.

• Compatible with Subaru Forester model years 2014 through 2018
• Matches OEM references like 63269-SG032 and related codes
• Sold as a two-piece set to replace both left and right struts

What tools and time do I need to change the liftgate struts?

Replacement is intentionally simple: basic hand tools and about five minutes per side in most cases. One person can complete the swap safely by supporting the hatch while removing the worn strut and snapping the new unit into place.

• Common tools: flat-head screwdriver and socket or wrench
• Quick removal: pop off retaining clips and unbolt lower end if needed
• Estimated time: roughly 5–15 minutes for both struts

What durability and warranty coverage comes with Dukuge struts?

The components are built for repeated cycles and provide stable gas pressure to extend functional life versus failed originals. Dukuge supports the product with customer-focused coverage to reduce the risk of premature replacement.

• Engineered for consistent hold-open force over many cycles
• Comes as a matched two-strut set for balanced operation
• 365+1 days customer coverage to address issues after purchase
