FAQs
How do I know if this gas strut is compatible with my car?
You must use the 'make and model tool' provided on the product page to verify compatibility. Additionally, carefully check all the listed specifications (length, housing diameter, eject force, etc.) against your vehicle's existing struts or manufacturer's recommendations.
What does 'eject force of 720 N' mean?
The eject force (or extension force) of 720 Newtons (N) indicates the amount of force the gas strut can exert to push the tailgate open and hold it in position.
Can I install this strut myself?
Installation can be done by individuals with automotive repair experience. However, if you are unsure, it is best to have a qualified mechanic install it to ensure proper fitment and safety.
Does this strut come with mounting hardware?
The product description does not specify if mounting hardware is included. Typically, gas struts are designed to use the vehicle's original mounting hardware. Please refer to the seller for details on included accessories.
What is the weight of this gas strut?
The gas strut weighs approximately 0.125 kg.
Are both left and right struts included?
This product listing is for a single gas strut. Since they are installed on both sides, you may need to order two if you are replacing both sides.
What is the warranty period for this part?
Warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please contact the seller directly for warranty inquiries.
Troubleshooting
Tailgate does not stay open
This indicates the gas strut has lost its pressure. Replace the strut with a new one of the correct specification. Ensure both struts are replaced if one is faulty, for balanced operation.
Strut is difficult to install or does not fit
Re-verify the part number and all specifications against your vehicle's requirements. Ensure you are using the correct mounting hardware and that the tailgate is properly aligned.
Tailgate opens too slowly or too quickly
This could be due to incorrect eject force specification for the tailgate weight, or the strut may be faulty. Confirm the 720 N eject force is appropriate for your vehicle's tailgate. If correct, the strut may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before ordering, it is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle make and model using the provided make and model tool. Ensure all listed specifications (length, housing diameter, eject force, etc.) match your vehicle's requirements.
Installation: This gas strut is designed for installation on both sides of the rear tailgate. Installation typically involves removing the old struts and attaching the new ones using the existing mounting points. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with automotive repairs. Ensure the vehicle is securely supported before attempting installation.
Care: Gas struts are sealed units and generally require minimal maintenance. Keep the strut rod clean from dirt and debris to prevent damage to the seals. Avoid exposing the strut to excessive heat or corrosive substances. If the strut appears damaged or its performance degrades, it should be replaced.
