When original hydraulic shocks lose pressure, the boot lid becomes heavy, sags under its own weight, or refuses to stay open securely. These aftermarket replacements deliver consistent 420N of eject force to lift and hold the tailgate effortlessly during loading, unloading, or inspection. Machined from durable metal with precision valve tuning, they match OE mounting points for straightforward bolt-on installation without modifications. Replacing worn-out supports prevents premature damage to the rear weather seal and restores confident access every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall both units simultaneously to maintain balanced lift force and prevent uneven wear on the rubber bump stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light silicone-based lubricant to the mounting pivots after fitting to ensure smooth movement over rough road surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep one spare strut in your boot for quick roadside swaps when sudden pressure loss occurs on longer trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Length: 445mm ±2mm (centre hole to centre hole)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEject Force: 420N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Reinforced steel cylinder with hardened piston rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Reference Numbers: 8731.G3, 8731.K9, 9639853880\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlacement: Rear upper tailgate\/boot support\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\u003e2× Rear Boot Tailgate Gas Strut Supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings \u0026amp; Reminders\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease verify your vehicle model year and existing part numbers before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.
