Engineered as a direct OEM interchange, these supports feature a 390N eject force and measure 430 mm from center hole to center hole when fully extended. Crafted from corrosion-resistant metal cylinders paired with reinforced plastic end caps, they deliver consistent lifting pressure without altering factory hinge geometry. This aftermarket unit matches verified reference codes including 68960-0D010, 689600D011, 68950-0W660, and 689500D020, ensuring precise pin alignment and straightforward replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwapping out tired struts is a high-impact maintenance step that restores even loading distribution across the trunk lid. Installations generally require only snap-ring pliers and a 12mm socket, completing in under twenty minutes. Always release tension gradually by compressing the old strut slightly before removing the mounting balls, and never force the mechanism sideways during detachment. After fitting, gently depress the hatch twice to prime the hydraulic seals and confirm symmetrical travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck ambient temperature before testing cold-weather actuation, as lower atmospheres can temporarily reduce extension speed until seals warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a drop of silicone lubricant to the mounting ball joints to prevent squeaking without attracting road grime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Length: 430 mm ± 2 mm (center-to-center measurement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEject Force: 390 Newtons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial Composition: Steel piston\/cylinder with engineered polymer caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchange References: 68960-0D010, 689600D010, 68960-0D011, 689600D011, 68960-0D012, 689600D012, 68950-0W660, 689500W660, 689500D020, 68950-0D021, 689500D021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: ROHS compliant manufacturing standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Rear Tailgate Gas Struts (Complete Left and Right Pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarnings \u0026amp; Reminders\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways cross-reference your existing part stamp or measure your current units before purchasing, as regional trim variations can influence hardware dimensions.
