FAQs
How do I know if this gas strut is compatible with my car?
You should use the vehicle make and model compatibility tool provided or contact customer support with your vehicle's specific details (year, make, model, and potentially VIN) to confirm that part number 27914 is the correct fit for your boot or cargo area.
What does the 500 N eject force mean?
The 500 N (Newtons) indicates the force the gas strut exerts to push the boot or cargo area open. This value is critical for ensuring the strut can effectively lift and hold the weight of your specific vehicle's tailgate.
Can I install this gas strut myself?
While possible for individuals with mechanical experience, installation should be performed by a competent person. Improper installation can lead to damage to the strut or your vehicle. Parts are usually supplied without fitting instructions, so referring to a vehicle service manual or seeking professional help is advised.
What are the main dimensions of this strut?
The strut has an extended length of 419 mm, a housing diameter of 18 mm, and a stroke of 157 mm. The mounting points are 18 mm in diameter, the piston conrod is 8 mm, and the housing length is 236.5 mm.
What happens if my old struts are weak?
Weak or failed gas struts can cause the boot or cargo area to not stay open, or to fall shut unexpectedly. Replacing them with functional struts, like this Febi Bilstein part, restores the intended convenience and safety.
Where is this part manufactured?
The product information indicates the brand is Febi Bilstein, a German manufacturer known for automotive replacement parts. Specific manufacturing location details are not provided.
Troubleshooting
Boot does not stay open after installation.
Ensure the new strut has the correct eject force (500 N) for your vehicle's boot size and weight. Verify that the strut is correctly seated and all mounting hardware is securely tightened. If the issue persists, the boot lid itself may have excessive weight or an alignment issue.
Strut is difficult to install or does not fit.
Double-check the part number (27914) against your vehicle's requirements using a compatibility tool. Ensure you are attempting to install it in the correct orientation as per vehicle service guidelines. Confirm the dimensions (length, diameters) match the original or specified replacement part.
Strut makes noise during operation.
Slight noises can sometimes occur as the gas is compressed or released. However, loud clunking or grinding noises may indicate an issue with the mounting points or the strut itself. Ensure mounting points are lubricated if necessary and that the strut is not binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify that this Febi Bilstein Boot Gas Strut (Part Number: 27914) is the correct part for your specific vehicle. Use the provided make and model tool or contact customer support with your vehicle details to confirm fitment. This is essential to avoid incorrect installations and potential damage.
Installation: Installation of gas struts should be carried out by a competent individual or a qualified mechanic. This typically involves carefully removing the old struts (often one at a time to prevent the tailgate from falling) and attaching the new ones using the specified mounting points. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened.
Care: Gas struts require minimal care. Keep the strut rod clean and free from dirt, dust, and debris, as contaminants can damage the seals and impair performance. Periodically inspect the strut for any signs of leakage or damage. Avoid applying excessive force or using the strut for purposes other than its intended application.
