Trunk / Liftgate Motor: Description and Operation
Link Rod
CS Link Rod
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate utilize a link rod assembly. This link rod is located in the left rear of the vehicle and is visible without removing
the D-pillar trim. The link rod attaches the liftgate to the power liftgate drive unit assembly. The link rod consists of a steel shaft, equipped with two
spherical rod end receptacles at each end. The weight of the liftgate is not supported by the link rod, the liftgate prop rods are designed to support the
liftgate.
The link rod cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged, must be replaced. Consult your MoparÖ parts catalog for a specific part number.
One end of the link rod assembly is attached to the liftgate, the other attached to the lift rack of the drive unit. When the lift rack is driven by the liftgate
motor assembly the liftgate is moved to the open or closed position.
