Youxmoto Rear Hatch Lift Supports for 1982–1992 Camaro & Firebird — 2-Pc Matched Gas Struts, OEM-Length

Youxmoto two-piece rear liftgate gas strut kit replaces worn hatch supports on 1982–1992 Pontiac Firebird and Chevrolet Camaro coupes, restoring smooth, dependable lift and hold action.

These OEM-style gas lift supports (part references 4900, SG130001, 8195287, 10264) are sold as a matched pair to replace the original rear hatch shocks on 2-door hatchback models from 1982 through 1992. Each strut was individually tested to ensure consistent pressure, reliable extension, and correct fit for vehicles equipped with spoilers or rear wipers. Youxmoto supplies them with the correct compressed and extended lengths so the hatch opens to the proper angle and remains secure when raised.

How do these lift supports improve hatch operation?

Worn or leaking factory struts often cause the hatch to close unexpectedly or to strain when opening. Installing fresh gas springs returns smooth, controlled lift and secure holding at full extension. That reduces stress on the hatch hinges and provides a safer, more convenient cargo access experience.

• Restores consistent lift force and dampening
• Prevents sudden closure and strain on hardware
• Ensures reliable hold at full extension for loading/unloading
• Pairs matched for balanced force on both sides

Are these struts a direct fit for my Camaro or Firebird?

Yes — these struts are specified to fit Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird coupe 2-door hatch models built from 1982 through 1992. The kit is designed to be used on the rear hatch location and fits units with a spoiler or rear wiper installed. Reference numbers included with the kit help verify compatibility against factory service listings.

What are the physical dimensions and build details?

Each strut is manufactured to the length specifications needed to match original equipment geometry. The extended length is 39.09 inches and the compressed length is 29.41 inches, delivering the proper travel for the hatch. Heavy-duty gas charge and durable rod finishes are used to resist corrosion and provide long life under repeated cycles.

How difficult is installation and what’s included?
