FAQs
What is the primary function of a boot gas strut?
A boot gas strut (also known as a gas spring or tailgate support) provides the force needed to lift and hold open your vehicle's tailgate or cargo area, making access easier and safer.
How do I know if I need to replace my gas strut?
Symptoms include a tailgate that falls closed on its own, requires excessive force to lift, or feels significantly heavier than usual.
Can this strut be used on either side of my tailgate?
Yes, this specific Febi Bilstein 37501 gas strut is designed to be suitable for installation on both the left and right sides of the vehicle.
What does 'eject force of 710 N' mean?
This refers to the force (in Newtons) the gas strut exerts to push the tailgate open. 710 N indicates a strong force, suitable for supporting moderately heavy tailgates.
Are installation instructions included?
Typically, automotive gas struts like this one are supplied without specific fitting instructions. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with vehicle repairs.
What are the main dimensions of this gas strut?
The strut has an overall length of 300 mm, a housing diameter of 22 mm, and a stroke (the distance the piston rod extends) of 70 mm.
How should I ensure this part fits my car?
Always use the vehicle compatibility checker or consult with a parts specialist or mechanic. Providing your vehicle's year, make, and model is essential for confirming fitment.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate does not stay open
Ensure the gas strut is correctly installed and compatible with your vehicle. If the issue persists, the strut may be faulty and require replacement.
Difficulty closing the tailgate
Check for obstructions. If none are present, the gas strut might be too strong for manual closure or could be damaged.
Strut appears loose or wobbly
Verify that the mounting points are securely fastened. Damaged mounting hardware or incorrect installation can cause looseness.
Strut makes noise during operation
A slight hissing sound can be normal, but loud squeaking or grinding may indicate internal issues or a need for lubrication at the mounting points (if accessible).
