ARANA Rear Hatch Gas Struts for Subaru Crosstrek 2018-2023 — 2-Piece OEM-Fit, Durable Chrome-Plated

These ARANA rear hatch gas struts are a direct-fit 2-piece replacement engineered to restore smooth, reliable lift and hold for Subaru Crosstrek models from 2018 through 2023.

If your Crosstrek’s liftgate feels heavy, drops suddenly, or no longer stays open, replacing the worn-out hatch struts is the simplest fix. ARANA supplies a pair of OEM-fit gas springs (part numbers PM4021LR / PM4021L-R) designed for Base, Convenience, Limited, Premium, Sport, and Touring trims across the 2018–2023 model years. They’re built to match the original mounting points and provide long-lasting performance without dealer pricing or complicated installation.

How do these struts restore liftgate performance?

ARANA struts replace weakened or leaking originals with a matched pair that returns proper counterbalance to the hatch. The gas spring action provides consistent lift force so the hatch opens smoothly and stays safely propped open without sagging.

• Direct-fit dimensions and end fittings match OEM mounting locations for easy swapping.
• Precharged gas and calibrated damping recreate factory lift strength.
• Two-piece set ensures balanced operation across the hatch.

Are these struts durable in extreme weather and regular use?

Yes — ARANA designed these struts to endure harsh climates and frequent cycles. Constructed from high-carbon Grade 45 steel with multi-layer chrome plating and premium anti-wear hydraulic fluid, they resist corrosion, pressure loss, and wear for long service life.

• Rated to operate reliably between -40°F and 110°F.
• Chrome plating reduces rust and surface wear for extended durability.
• Engineered for 50,000+ compression cycles to minimize replacement frequency.

How difficult is installation and will it save me dealer costs?

Installation is quick and user-friendly—no specialized tools or professional mechanic required. Most owners complete the swap in about five minutes using only a screwdriver, saving the time and expense of a dealer service visit.

• Simple pop-off clip or screwdriver release at each ball-stud ends makes removal fast.
• No adjustments or hydraulic bleeding required after installation.
• Clear OEM part numbers (PM4021LR / PM4021L-R) help ensure you purchase the correct fit before buying.
