TRQ Driver & Passenger Side Liftgate Lift Support Strut Set - Fit

In this review of the TRQ liftgate lift support set, the bottom line is simple: this two-piece kit is aimed at owners of 2020-2022 Hyundai Santa Fe models without a power liftgate who need a direct, affordable replacement for worn or failing lift supports. The reviewer found the set delivers reliable opening and holding force, installs with basic hand tools, and restores the liftgate to normal operation; the kit is particularly compelling for drivers who value straightforward compatibility and a lower-cost alternative to dealer parts.

Key Features

• Direct fit compatibility: Designed specifically for 2020-22 Hyundai Santa Fe models without a power liftgate, so fitment is straightforward and reduces adjustment time.
• Two-piece kit: Includes both driver and passenger side lift supports to replace both worn struts at once and restore balanced lift and closure.
• OEM reference numbers provided: Matches Hyundai reference numbers 81830-S2000 and 81840-S2000 which helps confirm correct part selection.
• Simple installation: The reviewer found the struts install with basic tools and typical clip-style end fittings, making it a quick DIY job for most drivers.
• Restores functionality: Returns stable opening and holding of the liftgate, addressing sagging or slow lift issues caused by worn original struts.

Who It's For

This set is for Hyundai Santa Fe owners (model years 2020 through 2022) who do not have a factory power liftgate and need replacement lift supports that match OEM reference numbers. It suits DIY mechanics and budget-conscious drivers who prefer a single, matched pair replacement rather than sourcing individual parts.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners with a power liftgate, drivers who require a dealer-branded part for warranty reasons, or anyone needing adjustable or performance gas springs beyond the stock specification.
