FAQs

How do I know if this bonnet gas strut is right for my vehicle?

You must use the vehicle make and model tool provided or contact us with your vehicle's specific details to confirm compatibility before purchasing. This part is designed for specific models only.

Can I install this gas strut myself?

Installation should be performed by a competent individual. While DIY installation is possible, professional installation is recommended as the product is usually supplied without fitting instructions.

What does 'Eject Force' mean?

Eject force (measured in Newtons, N) is the amount of force the gas strut exerts to push the bonnet open and hold it up. 410 N is the specified force for this strut.

What is the 'Stroke' of the gas strut?

The stroke (88 mm) refers to the distance the piston rod extends or retracts. It dictates how far the bonnet can be opened by the strut.

How long is the gas strut?

The overall length of the gas strut is 294 mm.

Can I modify this strut for a different application?

No, these products are designed to be used as originally intended and should not be modified for purpose.

What should I do if the strut doesn't seem to hold the bonnet up effectively?

First, ensure it was installed correctly on both sides and is fully engaged. If it still doesn't hold the bonnet securely, it may be faulty and require replacement.

Troubleshooting

Bonnet is difficult to lift after installation

Ensure the strut is correctly seated and not binding. Verify that the correct part number for your vehicle was purchased and installed on the correct side.

Bonnet does not stay open

Confirm the strut is fully engaged at both mounting points. Check for any obstructions preventing the strut from fully extending. If the issue persists, the strut may be faulty or the vehicle's bonnet balance may be off.

Strut appears to be leaking fluid

If you observe any fluid around the strut, it indicates a seal failure. The strut should be replaced immediately to prevent further issues and ensure safety.

Noisy operation (squeaking or grinding)

Inspect the mounting points for debris or damage. Ensure the strut is properly aligned and not rubbing against any part of the vehicle body. If noise persists, the strut may need replacement.
