Troubleshooting
Gas spring does not hold the boot open
The gas spring may have lost its pressure. This indicates the unit needs replacement. Ensure the new unit is correctly installed and fully extended.
Difficulty installing the gas spring
Ensure the mounting points are clear and that the new strut is aligned correctly. Do not force the strut; it should fit without excessive pressure. Professional installation may be required if significant resistance is met.
Boot closes too quickly or slams shut
This indicates the gas spring is no longer providing adequate support due to internal pressure loss. Replace the gas spring with a new one that meets the original specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This gas spring is specifically designed for the boot/cargo area of Volvo 8300 buses (model years from 01/2006 onwards). It is compatible with OEM reference 70354370. Always verify part number 48654 and OEM reference 70354370 against your vehicle's requirements before purchase.
Setup: Installation should be performed by a competent individual. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported if any lifting is required. The gas spring typically attaches to mounting points on the vehicle body and the boot lid. It is crucial to install the new gas spring in the same orientation as the original.
Care: Gas springs are sealed units and generally require no user maintenance. Avoid exposing the strut rod to dirt, paint, or damage, as this can compromise the seal and lead to performance degradation. Ensure the mounting points are clean and free of corrosion.
