FAQs
Should I replace both gas struts at the same time?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace both struts simultaneously to ensure balanced pressure and prevent uneven wear on the hinges.
Can I install this boot strut myself?
The manufacturer recommends professional installation due to the high-pressure nature of the component and the need for proper safety protocols during fitting.
What is the eject force of this strut?
This model features an eject force of 500 N.
How do I know if this part fits my car?
Verify the compatibility by cross-referencing your vehicle's VIN or the original part number of the failed strut with the febi bilstein 47072 specifications.
Do I need to grease the rod of the new strut?
No, do not apply grease or oil to the piston rod as it can attract dirt and damage the internal seals.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate feels heavy or will not stay open
The gas strut has lost pressure and needs to be replaced. Always replace both struts at the same time.
Difficulty installing the new strut
Ensure you are using the correct attachment points and verify that the tailgate is fully supported during installation to align the mounting hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must be performed by a qualified professional to avoid injury, as these struts contain high-pressure gas. Always ensure the vehicle is supported and the tailgate is properly braced during the replacement process. Before purchase, confirm that your specific vehicle model is compatible with MPN 47072 by checking your owner's manual or using an online parts lookup tool based on your VIN.
Care instructions include keeping the piston rod clean and free of debris or grit. Avoid applying lubricants or oils to the rod, as this can degrade the internal seals and lead to premature failure or loss of pressure.
