2 Pack Rear Tailgate Gas Struts 710N for BMW X5 E70 2006-2013
Restore effortless access to your BMW X5 E70 boot with these upgraded rear tailgate gas struts. Factory dampers lose pressure over time, causing the liftgate to sag, stall mid-way, or drop unexpectedly. These replacements deliver a constant 710 N eject force and a precise 522 mm centre-to-centre extended length, matching the original mounting points for vehicles produced between 2006 and 2013. Engineered as direct aftermarket substitutes for OE references 51247177283 and 51247294199, they bolt into place without drilling or modification.
Replacing worn tailgate supports keeps your cargo area fully functional and prevents sudden lid drops from damaging rear bumpers or injuring hands. Follow these quick tips during service and daily operation:
- Verify your current strut measures exactly 522 mm ± 2 mm from centre hole to centre hole before removing the old components.
- Keep the cylinder upright during removal to maintain internal nitrogen pressure and seal integrity.
- If the boot rocks sideways after installation, confirm that both left and right units share identical force ratings and stem extensions.
