FAQs
How do I know if I need to replace my gas struts?
Signs include the boot lid failing to stay open, closing on its own, feeling excessively heavy, or making unusual noises when operated.
Should I replace one or both rear boot struts?
It is highly recommended to replace gas struts in pairs. Replacing only one can lead to uneven pressure, potentially damaging the tailgate or causing improper operation.
What are the main specifications of this strut?
This Monroe ML6360 strut has a length of 377mm, a stroke of 130mm, an eject force of 740N, a cylinder bore of 18.5mm, and a standpipe diameter of 8mm.
Is this part compatible with my PEUGEOT 2008?
This strut is compatible with PEUGEOT 2008 Kombi (CU_) and PEUGEOT 2008 II (U_) models. Always double-check your vehicle's specific requirements.
What is the weight of this gas strut?
The gas strut itself weighs approximately 0.318kg.
Where is this gas strut used?
This gas strut is designed for the rear boot or cargo area of the vehicle.
What does 'eject force' mean?
Eject force (measured in Newtons, N) indicates the amount of force the strut exerts to push the tailgate open. A 740N force means it provides substantial assistance.
Troubleshooting
Boot lid does not stay open or closes unexpectedly.
The gas strut may have lost its pressure. Replace the gas strut(s). It is recommended to replace them in pairs for even lifting.
Difficulty opening or closing the boot lid.
Check if the strut is binding or if there are obstructions. Ensure the strut is correctly installed and compatible with your vehicle. A damaged strut can cause stiffness.
Strut appears to be leaking fluid.
If you see oil on the strut rod or cylinder, the seal is likely compromised. The strut needs to be replaced immediately.
New strut is too stiff or not stiff enough.
Verify that the part number is correct for your vehicle model and year. Ensure the strut was installed in the correct orientation as per manufacturer guidelines. Check for any binding in the mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This strut is specifically designed for:
- PEUGEOT 2008 Kombi (CU_) models.
- PEUGEOT 2008 II (U_) models.
Always verify your vehicle's part number compatibility before purchase. It is recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to ensure balanced lift and prevent undue stress on the vehicle's tailgate.
Setup (Installation):
Installation typically involves removing the old struts and attaching the new one. This usually requires:
- Securing the tailgate in the fully closed position to prevent it from falling.
- Carefully unfastening the old struts from their mounting points (often a clip or screw mechanism).
- Aligning and attaching the new Monroe strut to the corresponding mounting points.
- Ensuring both ends of the strut are securely fastened.
*Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with automotive repairs. Consult your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.*
Care:
- Keep the strut rod clean and free from dirt or debris that could damage the seal.
- Avoid painting or coating the strut rod, as this can compromise its function.
- Periodically check for signs of leakage or damage.
