FAQs

How do I confirm this gas strut fits my vehicle?

Use the 'make model tool' provided on the product listing. Additionally, compare the product specifications (length, force, stroke, diameters) with your vehicle's original part or manufacturer's manual. If still unsure, contact customer support with your vehicle details.

Can I install this myself?

Installation should be performed by a competent individual. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct and safe operation. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific procedures.

What is the eject force (750 N) and why is it important?

The eject force of 750 Newtons indicates the amount of force the gas strut can exert to push the tailgate open. This specific force is calibrated to properly support the weight of your vehicle's tailgate, ensuring smooth and controlled lifting.

What is the stroke of the gas strut?

The stroke refers to the distance the piston rod can extend, which is 196 mm for this part. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the tailgate can open to its full intended position.

Can I use this gas strut on either side of the tailgate?

Yes, this gas strut is designed to be installed on either the left or right side of the rear tailgate.

What is the warranty on this product?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for this product. Typically, replacement parts come with a manufacturer's warranty, but terms can vary.

Should I lubricate the gas strut?

No, it is not recommended to lubricate the gas strut's piston rod. Lubricants can attract dirt and debris, potentially damaging the seal and reducing the strut's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Tailgate does not stay open after installation.

Ensure the gas strut is the correct part number for your vehicle and has been installed on the correct side. Verify that all mounting points are secure and that the tailgate mechanism itself is not obstructed or damaged.

Gas strut feels too stiff or too weak.

Confirm that the part specifications (eject force, length, stroke) match the original or required specifications for your vehicle. Incorrect specifications can lead to improper operation. Professional assessment may be needed.

Noise during tailgate operation.

Check that the strut is properly seated in its mounting points and that there is no foreign debris around the piston rod or cylinder. Ensure the tailgate itself is properly aligned.

Visible damage or leaks from the strut.

If the strut appears damaged or is leaking fluid, it should be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair a damaged gas strut, as it contains pressurized gas.
