Over time, metal fatigue can cause the spring to weaken, leading to platform sag or slow operation, so it's replaced when a liftgate no longer holds position. Note that left and right side springs differ; this part is commonly identified as a left-hand (driver side) spring, but there are generational changes, and some listings note it as right side, so always verify with your liftgate's serial number.
