FAQs
Why is it recommended to replace tailgate struts in pairs?
Replacing tailgate struts in pairs ensures even force distribution, preventing stress on the tailgate and its hinges. It also provides a balanced lifting and holding action, maintaining the original intended operation.
What does the 450 N force output mean?
The 450 N (Newtons) indicates the force required to compress the strut. This value is specific to the weight of the tailgate it is designed to support, ensuring adequate assistance for opening and secure holding.
How long should these tailgate struts last?
The lifespan of tailgate struts can vary depending on usage and environmental conditions, but typically they last several years. Signs of wear include difficulty lifting, inability to stay open, or slow closing.
Can I install these myself?
Installation is generally straightforward for individuals with basic mechanical experience and the necessary tools. However, if you are unsure, it is always best to have a professional mechanic perform the installation.
What is the difference between this Meyle strut and the original BMW part?
This Meyle strut is designed as an original quality replacement, meaning it meets or exceeds the specifications of the original BMW part in terms of fit, form, and function for the specified vehicle model.
Are there any special tools needed for installation?
Typically, you may need a flathead screwdriver or pry tool to release the old strut clips and potentially a wrench for any bolts if your mounting points are different. Always refer to a service manual for precise tool requirements.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate is difficult to lift after installation.
Ensure the strut is correctly oriented and fully seated at both mounting points. Verify that you replaced both struts, as a single new strut with an old one can cause imbalance.
Tailgate does not stay open.
Confirm that the correct part number for your vehicle model was used. Check that both new struts are installed and functioning correctly. If the issue persists, the tailgate hinges might require attention.
Strut appears to be leaking fluid.
If you observe any fluid leakage from the strut, it indicates a seal failure. The strut should be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair a leaking strut.

Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for detailed installation instructions.
Care: Tailgate struts are maintenance-free components. Avoid applying lubricants or solvents to the strut rod, as this can damage the seals and lead to premature failure. Keep the mounting points clean and ensure they are free from corrosion.
