Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does 'eject force' mean for a gas strut?
Eject force (measured in Newtons, N) is the amount of force the gas strut exerts to push the piston rod out. For a tailgate strut, it's the force that helps lift and hold the tailgate open.
How many gas struts do I need for my tailgate?
Most vehicles use two gas struts for the tailgate to provide balanced support. Always check your vehicle's original configuration or consult your owner's manual.
What is the stroke of a gas strut?
The stroke is the distance the piston rod can travel from its fully compressed state to its fully extended state. In this case, it's 111 mm.
Can I install this gas strut myself?
While some DIY installations are possible, professional installation by a competent individual is recommended to ensure correct fitting and safe operation, especially given the pressurized nature of gas struts.
What does 'housing diameter' refer to?
The housing diameter is the outer diameter of the main body (cylinder) of the gas strut. For this part, it is 15 mm.
How do I know if this is the right part for my car?
You should cross-reference the part number '27732' and the specified vehicle fitment with your vehicle's original part number or consult a compatible parts guide. The provided cross-references can also assist in identification.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate is difficult to lift after installation.
Ensure the correct strut was installed and that it is functioning freely. Check for any obstructions or binding at the mounting points. If the issue persists, the strut may be faulty or an additional strut may be required for proper balance.
Tailgate does not stay open.
Verify that the strut has been correctly seated at both mounting points. Ensure the tailgate is not excessively heavy or damaged. If the strut feels weak, it may be defective, or the wrong part may have been installed.
Strut makes noise during operation.
Minor noises can sometimes occur with new gas struts. However, loud or unusual noises may indicate improper installation or a defect. Check mounting points for tightness and ensure the strut is not rubbing against any components.
