Only the 2011–2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 Series is compatible with these liftgate struts. The strut's length, shape, and mounting ends are identical to those of the vehicle's original liftgate system. Without bending, twisting, or pushing other components, this precise fit allows the strut to sit securely in place. The liftgate opens and closes smoothly in a straight line thanks to this exact fit.
Additionally, a vehicle-specific design lessens common liftgate issues. The strut evenly supports the liftgate on one side, improving balance during movement. This avoids uneven lifting, abrupt stops, and shaking. The right fit protects the vehicle body and prolongs the liftgate's useful life by lowering stress on hinges and surrounding panels.
Part numbers 55399277AD, 55399277AC, 55399277AE, and 55399277AF are direct OEM replacements for these Jeep Grand Cherokee liftgate struts. The strut mounts just like the factory part, thanks to its OE compatibility. No additional tools or adjustments are required to connect it to the wiring and mounting points that are already in place.
This appropriate original-equipment replacement helps restore the liftgate to its original operating condition. It reduces problems such as sluggish lifting, excessive operating noise, and the risk of sudden loss of support. Additionally, this replacement enhances everyday comfort and safety, particularly when opening the tailgate frequently for family, business, or travel purposes.
A powerful 72W motor powers this rear left liftgate actuator, providing consistent, stable lifting support. To prevent the liftgate from jerking, shaking, or pausing during use, the motor provides a smooth lifting motion. Together with the motor, a precision spring assist rod regulates lifting speed and reduces impact at the beginning and end of the movement.
The liftgate is more comfortable to use in daily life due to its quiet operation. The tailgate opens quietly, which is helpful in quiet spaces like garages or residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the smooth motor operation reduces internal wear, enabling the strut to continue operating steadily for an extended period.
These Jeep Grand Cherokee Liftgate Struts provide strong, precise lifting with a robust 408N support force. Users have enough time to prepare for loading or unloading cargo because the liftgate typically opens and closes smoothly in about 5 to 8 seconds. It is no longer necessary to hold the liftgate by hand thanks to this steady motion.
Liftgate hinges, joints, and brackets are less stressed when there is a strong support force. Additionally, it helps prevent abrupt drops that could damage cargo. In addition to enhancing general safety, balanced lifting helps prevent premature wear on the liftgate system as a whole.
The dual-row 6-pin connector provides a stable and safe electrical connection. This design reduces the risk of loose cables or intermittent power or signal loss, helping ensure a constant power supply to the motor. Because the connector fits securely, installation is quicker and more dependable.
The strut can naturally adjust to the liftgate angle thanks to the spherical joint construction. It facilitates the strut's smooth opening and closing. This adaptability enhances performance and reduces strain on mounting points, particularly during frequent daily use.
The heavy-duty steel body of these Jeep Grand Cherokee liftgate struts withstands temperatures from −86°F to 176°F. The strut performs effectively in both hot summers and very cold winters thanks to its broad temperature range. The robust steel body is resistant to pressure damage, bending, and cracking.
Rain, snow, and road moisture can create rust, but a corrosion-resistant coating shields the strut from it. Over time, this shielding helps sustain lifting strength. Throughout the year, drivers can count on seamless liftgate operation in all weather.
To demonstrate its strength and longevity, this liftgate actuator has successfully completed 30,000 fatigue tests. Each test cycle evaluates the strut's ability to withstand repeated opening and closing. This testing demonstrates that the strut can handle daily opening and closing for many years.
High fatigue resistance helps reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns or loss of lift support. It reduces the risk of mishaps and ensures the liftgate operates safely. Users can operate the liftgate with confidence thanks to its long-term dependability.
The liftgate strut features premium steel construction and a flexible rubber cover that helps keep out moisture and dust. These rubber components help reduce the chance of oil leaks by sealing the internal system. Liftgates operate smoothly and steadily when their internal parts are clean.
FEP insulated wiring offers enhanced resistance to corrosion, heat, and abrasion. It protects internal electrical components from wear and moisture damage. This protective construction helps prolong the liftgate strut's overall service life and lowers maintenance requirements.
