Figure 1 LIFTGATE GEAR/MOTOR ASSEMBLY






The lift gear and rod assembly are located in the left rear of the vehicle and are visible without removing the D-pillar trim(Figure 1). The lift gear provides the leverage to move the liftgate from the closed to the open position. The lift gear attaches to a bearing on the gear motor assembly with four bolts. On the outboard side of the lift gear are riveted on teeth, which mesh with the gear motor assembly drive gears during a open or close operation. The rod assembly is a steel shaft, equipped with two spherical rod ends which attaches the lift gear to the liftgate. The lift gear and rod assembly are serviceable components.
