Rear Tailgate Gas Struts 430N For Volvo V50 Estate 2004-2012
Struggling with a heavy, drooping boot lid? These aftermarket repair struts bring reliable support back to your Volvo V50 Estate tailgate, eliminating manual lifting struggles and keeping the flap securely in place while loading cargo. Engineered with a precise 430-newton eject force and an extended length of 430 millimetres, they replicate original factory performance with durable steel internals and robust plastic mounting hubs designed to withstand daily weather exposure and road vibrations.
Benefits & Handling Tips
Proper installation ensures long-term reliability without scratching your paint or damaging the lift mechanism. Keep these practical tips in mind:
- Always align the piston rod perfectly vertical when compressing and locking the new strut into place to prevent internal seal damage.
- Apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the spherical bearings after fitting to maintain smooth motion and resist moisture corrosion.
- Replace both sides simultaneously to guarantee balanced weight distribution and consistent door movement over time.
