ARANA Rear Hatch Struts are a direct-fit, heavy-duty replacement pair designed to restore smooth, secure lift and hold for the Subaru Outback (2010–2014) rear hatch.

If the liftgate on your Subaru Outback or Legacy from 2010–2014 no longer stays open, opens unevenly, or feels heavy, these ARANA replacement struts provide an OEM-equivalent solution engineered to match factory fit and function. Built from high-carbon steel with multi-layer chrome plating and wear-resistant hydraulic fluid, they are designed for reliable operation across extreme temperatures and thousands of cycles.

How do these struts improve opening and closing the rear hatch?

These liftgate shocks deliver consistent gas-assisted lifting force so the hatch opens smoothly and stays in the desired position without needing a prop rod. They replace worn or leaking originals to eliminate sudden drops or sluggish movement.

• Restores original lift and damping behavior for safe access
• Prevents abrupt slamming and protects seals and hinges

They’re rated for tens of thousands of cycles to provide long service life and reduce the need for repeated replacements.
