If your liftgate support strut is not mounting properly or the original stud is worn or missing, this is one of the components to replace. The PORC Off Road Products lower liftgate ball stud is designed as a direct replacement for 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ and Wrangler Unlimited LJ models equipped with a factory hardtop. This stud mounts to the hardtop and provides the lower attachment point for the liftgate support strut. Manufactured to align with factory specifications, it provides consistent fitment and reliable performance. Fits left or right side. Sold individually, two required per vehicle. Replaces OE reference 55076311AB and interchange part number 12012.33.
