Purpose and function of the set

The presented spring set is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the trunk lid area. It is responsible for stably supporting the lid in the open position and for controlled, even guidance during closing. As a result, the user receives predictable tailgate operation, without sudden drops or uncontrolled movements.

The component belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts group, which means it has been designed to work with factory hinges, locks, and other rear body components, maintaining structural integrity and operational safety.

Construction and technical fitment

The tailgate spring set has been developed by the manufacturer for a specific model, which translates into properly selected force and travel characteristics. Thanks to this, the tailgate opens with appropriate dynamics, and its weight is effectively compensated by the springs without placing excessive load on the hinges.

The placement on the rear of the vehicle allows for direct installation at factory mounting points. This solution limits the need for modifications and facilitates service, while helping to maintain the original geometry of the trunk lid operation.

Performance characteristics and benefits

Using an original spring set in an Audi allows for maintaining the consistency of the entire tailgate system. In practice, this means:

• stable support of the tailgate in the open position,
• more predictable, linear closing,
• reduced load on mounting elements and hinges,
• comfortable trunk operation in daily use.

The used product represents a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the factory operating characteristics of the tailgate. For many users, this is a practical solution for post-accident repairs or restoring full functionality to the rear of the vehicle.

Professional application in body repairs

In the case of rear body repairs, especially after collisions, properly selected tailgate springs are essential for the correct fit and operation of the entire trunk assembly. A used original component often works better with factory hinges and locks than random aftermarket replacements, which facilitates adjustment and reduces assembly time.
