Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does the 'eject force' of 540 N mean?
The eject force (540 Newtons) indicates the amount of force the gas strut exerts to push the boot lid open. This specification is critical for ensuring the strut can lift and hold the weight of your specific vehicle's boot lid.
Can I install this strut myself?
While possible for individuals with automotive experience and the correct tools, professional installation by a mechanic is highly recommended to ensure proper fitment and prevent damage to the strut or vehicle.
How long should this gas strut last?
The lifespan of a gas strut varies depending on usage and environmental conditions. However, Stabilus parts are known for their durability, and they typically last for several years under normal operating conditions.
What is the stroke of 150.5 mm?
The stroke (150.5 mm) refers to the distance the gas strut rod extends or retracts. This measurement is part of the strut's overall length and is crucial for correct operation within the vehicle's mounting points.
Why is it important to replace gas struts in pairs?
Replacing gas struts in pairs ensures balanced lifting and closing force on both sides of the boot lid. Using mismatched or only one new strut can lead to uneven stress, potential damage, and compromised operation.
Does this strut come with mounting hardware?
This product listing is for the gas strut itself. Mounting hardware is typically not included and may need to be reused from the old strut or purchased separately, depending on the vehicle and installation requirements.
What is the LIFT-O-MAT® series?
LIFT-O-MAT® is Stabilus's brand name for their high-quality gas springs, known for their reliable performance and smooth operation in various applications, including automotive boot lids.
Troubleshooting
Boot lid does not stay open or closes on its own.
The gas strut may have lost its pressure due to age or a leak. Replace the strut with a new one. Ensure both struts (if applicable) are replaced for balanced operation.
Strut is difficult to open or close manually.
This could indicate internal damage or excessive force applied during installation. Do not force the strut; inspect for obstructions or damage. Professional installation is recommended.
Boot lid opens too quickly or slams shut.
The strut may be faulty or not the correct part for the vehicle. Ensure the correct part number is installed and that it functions smoothly. If replacing one strut, replace the other on the opposite side simultaneously.

- Designed for a precise fit with specific vehicle applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before purchasing, verify that the Stabilus 011508 part number matches your vehicle's original equipment specifications or consult a parts catalog. Cross-reference part numbers provided (e.g., AKRON-MALÒ 127581, BLUE PRINT ADG05847) to confirm fitment for your specific car model.
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old gas struts and attaching the new ones at the designated mounting points on the vehicle body and boot lid. This often requires special tools to safely compress or detach the struts. It is recommended to have this part installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct alignment and prevent damage to the strut or your vehicle.
Care: Gas struts require minimal maintenance. Avoid applying excessive force or attempting to open the boot beyond its normal range of motion. Keep the mounting points clean and free of debris. Do not paint or puncture the strut body, as this can compromise its seals and internal pressure.
