FAQs
Can this gas strut be used on either side of the tailgate?
Yes, this Febi Bilstein Boot Gas Strut is designed for fitment on both the left and right sides of the vehicle's tailgate or cargo area.
What is the primary function of this gas strut?
Its primary function is to provide a controlled lift and support for the tailgate or cargo area, making it easier to open and keeping it securely in place when open.
How do I know if this part fits my car?
You should use the vehicle fitment tool (make and model lookup) provided or contact customer support with your vehicle's details to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
What does 'eject force of 410 N' mean?
Eject force refers to the amount of force the gas strut exerts to push the tailgate open. 410 N (Newtons) indicates the strength of the strut.
Is installation difficult?
Installation requires mechanical aptitude. It is recommended to have the strut installed by a competent individual or a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper function.
What is the length of the gas strut?
The extended length of the gas strut is 455 mm.
Can I lubricate the gas strut?
It is not recommended to lubricate the gas strut, especially the piston rod, as this can attract dirt and potentially damage the seal, leading to premature failure.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate does not stay open
Ensure the gas strut is correctly installed and fully engaged at both mounting points. Verify that the eject force (410 N) is sufficient for the weight of your tailgate. Check if the strut has been damaged during installation.
Gas strut feels stiff or jerky
Confirm that the strut is installed in the correct orientation and that the mounting points are aligned properly. Obstructions or misalignment can cause binding. Ensure no dirt or debris is on the piston rod.
Gas strut makes noise
Minor operating noises are normal. However, loud clunking or squeaking could indicate improper installation or a damaged mounting point. Re-check all connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This gas strut is designed as a direct replacement part. Installation typically involves unfastening the old struts from their mounting points on the vehicle body and the tailgate, and then attaching the new Febi Bilstein strut in the same locations. Ensure the tailgate is securely supported before removing old struts. It is recommended that installation be performed by a competent individual or qualified mechanic.
Compatibility: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify fitment for your specific vehicle make and model using the provided tool or by contacting customer support. While designed for tailgate/cargo areas, ensure the dimensions and specifications match your vehicle's requirements.
