ARANA Rear Hatch Struts for Kia Sorento W/O Power

These ARANA rear hatch struts are a direct-fit, two-piece replacement for non-powered Kia Sorento liftgates (2016–2020), restoring smooth, reliable opening and secure hold without dealer costs.

If your Sorento’s liftgate won’t stay up, opens sluggishly, or leaks hydraulic fluid, a worn gas strut is often the culprit. ARANA engineered these replacement hatch supports to match the original fit points and restore factory-like operation using high-carbon steel, multi-layer chrome plating, and premium hydraulic fluid. They are sold in a two-piece set and designed for quick, tool-light installation so you can swap them yourself and avoid expensive service fees.

How will these struts improve my Kia Sorento’s hatch performance?

Replacing failed or weak struts brings back consistent lift force and a stable open position, preventing the hatch from dropping unexpectedly and making loading safer and easier.

• Restored opening speed and consistent hold at full extension
• Reduced rattling and movement while parked
• Improved safety loading cargo or reaching into the rear cargo area

Are these ARANA struts durable in extreme weather?

Yes — they’re built to withstand wide temperature ranges and frequent cycle use without rapid performance loss. Components and fluids are selected to resist pressure loss and leakage across climates.

• Grade 45 high-carbon steel body resists bending and wear
• Multi-layer chrome plating prevents rust and surface corrosion
• Hydraulic oil rated for -40°F to 110°F operation
