Front Bonnet Lift Gas Struts Solid Steel for BMW E83 X3
Eliminate hood sag and restore safe, hands-free access to your engine bay with this pair of front bonnet gas struts engineered for the BMW X3 E83 2004-2011. Replacing weakened original springs, these robust supports deliver a precise 720N eject force to hold the bonnet upright securely, reducing stress on hinges and improving safety during routine maintenance tasks.
Designed as a direct replacement for OEM part number 51233400352, each strut maintains exact factory geometry for seamless installation on both left and right vehicle positions. Constructed from solid steel metal, the hydraulic lifters resist thermal deformation and road vibration, while verified ROHS compliance confirms adherence to chemical safety standards. Measuring 286 mm ± 2 mm centre-hole to centre-hole, these aftermarket supports provide dependable lifting power throughout their operational life.
Practical Installation Advice
- Compare the specifications of your current gas struts against the 286mm extended length and 720N force rating to ensure vehicle compatibility.
- Replace both the left and right supports simultaneously to maintain balanced hood tension and prevent misalignment.
- Clean the mounting pivot points thoroughly before affixing the new units to eliminate contaminants that could restrict smooth travel.
Package Includes
- 2x Front Bonnet Hood Gas Struts Support (Complete Pair: Left and Right)
Caution: Handle the bonnet mechanism carefully during removal and installation to avoid pinch injuries. Never attempt to disassemble, cut, or weld the struts, nor apply excessive force to the piston rod, as pressurized nitrogen presents a severe explosion hazard.
