Tailgate Gas Struts 460N 488mm Brand New Aftermarket for Audi A3 8P Hatchback 2003 to 2012

Main description

This is a brand-new aftermarket pair of rear tailgate gas struts designed for the Audi A3 8P1 Hatchback from 2003 to 2012. Each strut delivers a robust 460N of lift and extends to 488 mm, providing reliable, controlled assistance when opening and closing your tailgate. Despite being an aftermarket part (NOT GENUINE OEM), these gas springs are engineered to match the original fitment and performance, making a DIY replacement straightforward and budget-friendly.

Constructed from durable steel with a black finish, the pair is built to withstand frequent use and resist corrosion. They’re suitable for both sides of the rear tailgate, ensuring balanced support across the hatch. Installing these struts helps prevent tailgate slams, reduces strain on your back and hinges, and keeps loading and unloading tasks smooth and safe—whether you’re loading groceries, luggage, or sporting gear.

Key OEM compatibility includes the part numbers 8P3827552A, 8P3827552B, and 8P3827552C. These struts are specifically designed for the Audi A3 8P1 Hatchback (2003–2012) and are RoHS compliant, reflecting attention to safety and environmental guidelines. This kit is a practical replacement when the original gas struts have weakened or failed, restoring original handling without costly dealership downtime.
