These aftermarket replacements deliver consistent 700N of lifting force, firmly holding the boot in raised positions while preventing unwanted drops. Constructed from durable carbon steel with a protective black coating, they resist moisture and road grime effectively. Designed as a direct interchange for factory references such as 3M51A406A10AA, 3M51A406A10AB, and XS41A406A10AF, the units measure 455mm extended (±2mm centre-to-centre) to match the original mounting geometry on both left and right sides. Installation requires basic hand tools and takes minimal time, allowing you to avoid costly garage invoices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlign the clevis pins precisely with the existing retaining bolts to prevent cross-threading during mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe residual lubricant from the exposed piston rods after a few service cycles to keep dust and grit away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid leaning or storing heavy cargo against the fully open tailgate, which extends the working lifespan of the gas springs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended length: 455mm (±2mm centre hole to centre hole)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEject force: 700N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Carbon steel housing with metal piston assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlacement: Rear left \u0026amp; right pair set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: ROHS compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x Rear Tailgate Gas Struts (pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings \u0026amp; Reminders\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways double-check your current tailgate part markings against the listed reference numbers before ordering.
