Purpose and function of the gas strut

The presented tailgate gas strut is a component from the Gas springs, locks, hinges, and other parts category, responsible for controlled lifting and holding the lid in a stable position. Using the correct strut reduces the risk of the lid falling unexpectedly, which is important for both convenience and protecting the user from the trunk closing suddenly.

The component is suitable for installation on both the left and right sides, allowing for the replacement of a single strut or a pair, depending on the condition of the existing components in the vehicle.

Design and operating characteristics

The gas strut uses compressed gas to generate supporting force, ensuring that the opening and closing of the lid is controlled and predictable. The properly selected force characteristics:

• ensure smooth lifting of the trunk lid without jerking,
• stabilize the lid in the upper position,
• reduce the load on hinges and locks.

As a result, the tailgate system operates evenly, and the remaining mechanism components are less prone to accelerated wear.

Installation and compatibility

The strut has been designed as an OEM part, which translates into a proper fit for factory mounting points on the body and the trunk lid. Installation involves replacing the existing component with a compatible equivalent, without the need for vehicle structural modifications.

Using an original gas strut allows you to maintain factory lid operating parameters and facilitates subsequent part identification thanks to assigned catalog numbers and interchangeable numbers visible in the technical specification.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The offered strut comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical repair of the tailgate system while maintaining the original design. Choosing a used OEM component is advantageous wherever mounting compatibility, predictable operational behavior, and reduced service costs are important.

Using such a solution is particularly practical in the case of a gradual loss of supporting force, when it is necessary to replace one or both struts to restore the proper operation of the entire mechanism.

Support in selection by OEM numbers

When selecting a gas strut for a specific version of the Audi A4 B7, it is crucial to compare the part number and interchangeable numbers with the vehicle specification.
