PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
Subject:
Revised Liftgate Strut Replacement Procedure
Models:
2008-2012 Buick Enclave
2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse
2007-2012 GMC Acadia
2007-2010 Saturn OUTLOOK
Condition/Concern
GM engineering has determined that improved durability of the liftgate strut can be realized by installing the strut
assembly with the rod side down. In this orientation, dust and dirt does not collect on the strut housing to rod seal,
which can cause wear on the seal.
Recommendation/Instructions
2878222
When it is necessary to replace a liftgate strut, install the strut assembly with the strut body end attached to the body
side of the vehicle and the rod side attached to the liftgate (1).
Important: This revised installation procedure applies to all vehicles even if the struts were installed in a different
orientation from the factory.
