It provides the counterbalance force needed to raise and lower the liftgate platform smoothly. Replacement is necessary when the spring weakens or breaks, often indicated by platform sag or failure to stay in the stored position. Always confirm compatibility with the liftgate's model and serial number, as spring design has changed over production years.
