Rear Tailgate Boot Struts Carbon Steel for Renault Clio MK2 1998-2005
Restore smooth, reliable operation to your cargo area with these replacement rear tailgate gas struts, engineered specifically for the Renault Clio MK2 Hatchback (1998–2005). When factory supports lose pressure, boot lids become dangerously heavy to lift or drop with a sudden slam. These ANGRONG carbon steel alternatives restore controlled lifting power by delivering a steady 340N eject force, keeping your tailgate firmly open while parked or navigating rough roads. Built to match the original OE layout (reference number 7700842256), they bolt directly into your existing mounting points without modification, eliminating frustration and protecting your fingers from sudden closure. The protective black coating guards against road salt and moisture, extending service life between routine maintenance intervals.
Benefits & Tips
- Always swap struts in matched pairs so lift tension remains balanced across both sides of the tailgate.
- Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the factory hinge pivots before reinstalling the new struts for quieter, smoother opening angles.
- Verify the centre-to-centre measurement of your old units before installation; an exact 410mm span ensures the locking clips engage correctly.

Important Reminders
Confirm your vehicle model year and part designation before ordering, as slight suspension or body modifications can alter clearance around the mounting brackets. These units are premium aftermarket replacements manufactured to industry tolerances, not official factory-supplied components. Do not attempt to drill, bend, or heat the cylinders, as nitrogen gas retention is critical for safe extension and retraction. Install using standard hand tools and listen for the characteristic click as the retaining clips secure into place.
