Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary function of this gas spring?
This gas spring is designed to assist in opening and holding up the boot or cargo area lid of a vehicle, providing smooth operation and support.
How do I know if I need to replace my gas spring?
Signs include the lid not staying open on its own, being difficult to lift, or closing unexpectedly. If your existing gas spring is weak or damaged, replacement is necessary.
What does 'Eject Force: 75 N' mean?
This refers to the force, measured in Newtons, that the gas spring exerts when extending. 75 N is the force required to push the lid open.
Are fitting instructions included with the product?
Typically, febi bilstein gas springs are supplied without fitting instructions. Installation should be carried out by a competent individual or professional mechanic.
What is the length of the gas spring?
The gas spring has an extended length of 266 mm and a compressed length of 155 mm.
How can I confirm if this part is compatible with my vehicle?
Cross-reference the febi bilstein part number (24698) and OEM reference numbers (e.g., MERCEDES-BENZ: A6297500836) with your vehicle's specifications or consult a parts specialist.
Can I lubricate the gas spring rod?
No, lubrication of the piston rod is not recommended as it can damage the seal and lead to premature failure.
Troubleshooting
Gas spring does not hold lid open
Ensure the gas spring is correctly installed and fully seated at both mounting points. Verify that the correct part number for your vehicle's application has been used. If the issue persists, the gas spring may be faulty and require replacement.
Difficulty opening or closing the lid
Check for any obstructions or binding in the lid mechanism. Ensure the gas spring is the correct length and force rating for the application. A bent or misaligned mounting point can also cause binding.
Gas spring leaks fluid
If fluid is observed on the piston rod or at the seals, the gas spring is compromised and must be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair a leaking gas spring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This gas spring is designed as a direct replacement part. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or individual with automotive repair experience. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported and the tailgate or boot lid is secured before removing the old gas spring. The new spring should be attached securely to the designated mounting points.
Compatibility:
Always verify compatibility using the provided part number (24698) and cross-references against your vehicle's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part number. The febi bilstein 24698 is compatible with OEM references such as EVOBUS: 6297500836, MERCEDES-BENZ: 6297500836, and SETRA: 6297500836. It also cross-references with many aftermarket brands like AUGER, STABILUS, and others.
Care:
Gas springs are sealed units and generally require no maintenance. Avoid applying lubricants to the piston rod or seal, as this can damage the seal and compromise the unit's performance. If the unit appears damaged or is leaking fluid, it should be replaced.
