Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented strut operates in the rear part of the body on the left side, contributing to the system responsible for the movement of the tailgate. Its task is to provide controlled guidance of the tailgate during opening and closing, ensuring the movement is smooth, predictable, and properly synchronized with other system components. Thanks to its precise fit for the specific body zone, the strut works in conjunction with the hinges, lock, and electrical installation, which allows for maintaining the correct operating geometry of the tailgate and reducing the load acting on the sheet metal and mounts.

Construction and technical characteristics

The strut belongs to a group of components such as gas springs, locks, hinges, and other parts that are responsible for the mechanical and electrical operation of the tailgate. The construction is prepared for operation in variable operating conditions – from low to high temperatures – and for repeated cyclic loading. The element has been designed as part of the electric tailgate assist system, which is why its correct seating in the factory mounting points is essential. The appropriate working length, stroke, and operating characteristics are adapted to the specific body model, which minimizes the risk of improper closing or excessive load on the hinges.

Benefits of using an original strut

Using an original strut in the factory location allows for maintaining the consistency of the entire tailgate system. Key advantages include:

• Proper fit to the body geometry and factory mounting points.
• Predictable operation across the full range of opening and closing the tailgate.
• Reduction of the risk of overloading the lock and hinges.
• Compatibility with the vehicle's existing electrical installation. As a result, the user maintains the comfort of operating the trunk, and the system remains in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Condition, installation, and service application

The offered element is from the used parts group, which allows for an economical repair of the tailgate system while maintaining the original construction. This is a practical solution in situations where the existing strut has worn out, suffered mechanical damage, or stopped communicating with the electrical system. During replacement, it is recommended to:

• inspect the mounting points on the body and the tailgate,
• check the operation of the lock and hinges after installation,
• verify the correct operation of the entire opening and closing cycle. Such a service approach allows for restoring the proper functionality of the trunk and reducing the risk of recurring faults in this area.

Technical support and additional materials

In the case of post-accident repairs or replacing multiple components in the rear part of the body, it is worth considering a wider use of original components.
