AiYiGu 6261 Rear Hatch Shocks – 2 Pack for Kia Sorento 2011-2014

AiYiGu 6261 Rear Hatch Shocks – 2 Pack for Kia Sorento (2011–2014)

When the rear hatch gas springs wear out, lifting and holding the tailgate can feel heavier and less controlled. The AiYiGu pair is designed to replace worn shocks on Kia Sorento models from 2011 through 2014, providing a balanced, steady opening and a reliable hold as you load or access cargo. This two‑pack is an affordable way to restore the hatch’s natural feel without altering the vehicle’s appearance.
