Why Do We Need Gas Struts?

• Gas struts,also known as lift supports or lift struts,are necessary to create a dependable and easy way of opening trunks, hoods, tailgates, and hatches. They attach directly to the vehicle body or structure with clips or screws. The strut’s pushrod is connected internally using an operating spring that compresses when it is extended outwards from its holder (the “gas” effect).

Why Use Gas Struts?

• Gas struts are an efficient and effective way to improve the performance of your lift support needs. They’re often used in car hoods, trunks, doors, rear windows, and tailgates, where they serve as safety features that help keep them closed or open when needed.If your gas struts or lift supports are old, damaged, or malfunctioning, it’s time for a replacement. Just make sure to get quality replacements for your car.

​How to Install?

• Lift the Hatch or Hood: For your own safety, it's better to have someone hold the hood, trunk, or other lift support application open for you so that they can raise it and lower it as needed.
• Inspect the End Connections: Before you replace lift supports, inspect the end connections of your new gas struts on both ends and compare them to the existing units on your vehicle to be sure they’re the same. The overall length of the gas struts, when fully extended, should also be the same.
• Remove the Old Supports: Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the U-shaped retaining clip or band that holds the ball socket lift support into place. Do this slowly and pull it away from the vehicle until it releases. Avoid pulling off the U-band all the way or using force, as it will fly off and could hurt you or someone nearby. Doing it correctly will ensure you replace your lift supports with ease.
• Install the Replacement Lift Supports: To install the new lift supports, start with the shaft end first. Place the ball socket over the ball stud on your vehicle and use your fingers to apply some gentle pressure until it pops into place. Grab the body of the gas strut (the thick steel cylinder) and turn it one full turn clockwise to release the lift support cylinder.Turn the gas strut until the ball socket is right on top of the ball stud. Push it gently onto the ball stud. After you’ve installed both ends of the gas strut, tug it gently to be sure that it is securely attached to the vehicle. No complicated tools are needed when you want to replace lift supports. Repeat this procedure to remove and replace the other gas strut.
