Tailgate Hatch Lift Support Shock
Genuine Volvo 31278323 - 115232
Product Description
These gas springs are also referred to as: tailgate shocks, hatch struts, and lift supports. Regardless of what you call them they provide lift to your back window. You will most commonly find them starting to show their reduced lift during cold temperatures. While the left and right side don't commonly fail together, they have both experienced the same amount of lifts. We recommend replacing them in pairs.

Many may not know this but Volvo in Latin roughly translates to "to roll". The company was founded back in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson as a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. While the Volvo logo looks like the biology symbol for male, it's really the Swedish symbol for Iron. With a nod to its heritage in alloys, Volvo chose a logo that depicted a ring bisecting at one o’clock. Today Volvo is known around the world as one of the most iconic brands known for safety, longevity, and its enthusiast following.

Policies, Warranty & FAQ
Available to Order means the item may not be in our warehouse but is readily available from one or more supplier warehouses. After you order it, we will get it for you ASAP.
Products from major brand names are almost always in stock in the manufacturer’s domestic warehouse. These suppliers have good fill rates, but even if they are out of stock, we may be able to source it from a variety of alternative wholesale sources.
We are at the most a week away from all these warehouses, usually much less. Does that mean we will always have your product available within that window? Honestly, we can't promise that but we’ll do everything we can to get your parts to you in a timely manner.
