This Febi Boot Gas Strut (36220) is designed for VAUXHALL ASTRA J models manufactured from 2009 to 2015.
The gas strut has an eject force of 400 N, which is the force required to compress it.
While possible for experienced individuals, professional installation is strongly recommended due to the stored energy within the strut and the potential for injury if handled improperly. Fitting instructions are not typically provided.
The strut has a total length of 588 mm, a housing diameter of 18 mm, and a stroke (travel distance) of 205 mm.
Yes, this gas spring is suitable for placement on both the left and right sides of the vehicle.
Ensure the strut is correctly fitted at both ends. If the problem persists, the tailgate's weight might be non-standard, or there could be an issue with the vehicle's hinges. Consulting a professional mechanic is advised.
Information regarding the specific warranty period for this Febi part (36220) is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer for warranty information.
Ensure the strut is correctly seated on both mounting points. Verify the eject force (400 N) is adequate for your specific tailgate weight. If the issue persists, consult a professional mechanic for a compatibility check or potential installation error.
This is normal as the strut is pre-charged with gas. Do not attempt to force it without proper tools or knowledge. It is best to have a second person assist or use specialized strut installation tools. Professional installation is recommended.
Minor noises might be due to the seal or initial lubrication. If the noise is significant or sounds like a leak, the strut may be faulty or damaged. Inspect for any visible damage to the housing or piston rod.
Compatibility: This gas strut is specifically designed for VAUXHALL ASTRA J models manufactured between 2009 and 2015. Always verify your vehicle's specific model year and trim to ensure compatibility before purchase. The part number is Febi 36220.
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old gas strut, which is usually attached via a ball joint or similar fitting at both ends. The new strut should then be aligned and attached to the corresponding mounting points on the vehicle body and tailgate. Due to the stored energy within a new gas strut, it is strongly recommended that installation is performed by a qualified mechanic, as improper handling can lead to injury. Fitting instructions are not typically included with the product.
Care: Gas struts are generally maintenance-free. However, ensure the mounting points remain clean and free from excessive dirt or corrosion. Periodically check that the fittings are secure. Avoid excessive force when opening or closing the tailgate, allowing the strut to perform its function smoothly.
