FAQs
Does this package contain two struts?
No, the Febi 38233 is typically sold as a single unit.
Can I install this myself if I have no experience?
It is strongly recommended that a competent individual or professional mechanic performs the installation due to the high internal pressure of the gas strut.
Are mounting brackets included?
The product is designed to fit onto existing vehicle mounting ball studs; no additional brackets are provided.
Is it safe to modify the length of the strut?
No, the strut is intended for use as originally designed. Modification can result in pressure loss and component failure.
What is the eject force of this strut?
This model provides an eject force of 615 N.
Does the orientation of the strut matter during installation?
Yes, always install the strut in the orientation specified by the vehicle's service manual to ensure proper internal seal lubrication.
Troubleshooting
Boot lid does not stay open
Check if the strut has lost pressure or if the ball studs are worn; replace the strut if pressure is insufficient.
Strut feels stiff or binding during operation
Ensure the strut is installed with the correct orientation as per manufacturer specifications and check for obstructions at the hinge.
Difficulty snapping the end fittings onto the studs
Ensure the ball studs are free of rust and debris; apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the ball end.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Installation instructions are not included with the product

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should only be performed by individuals with experience in automotive mechanical repairs. Gas struts are under high internal pressure; never attempt to open or modify the cylinder housing.
- Ensure the boot lid is fully supported by a prop or a second person before removing the old strut.
- Carefully remove the retaining clips at the mounting points using a flat-head screwdriver if necessary.
- Align the new Febi strut with the ball studs and press firmly until the clips snap into place.
- Test the movement of the boot lid slowly to ensure no binding occurs.
Keep the piston rod free of debris, oil, and grit to prevent seal damage. Periodically wipe the rod with a clean, dry cloth to ensure the seals last for the full life of the component.
