Gas Struts are used to support and control the opening of bonnets, boots, tailgates, hatches, canopies and other hinged panels. They help hold panels open and control movement so the panel does not drop suddenly or feel heavy during use.

Brands such as Stabilus, TBM Autoparts, VAICO, Monroe, Tuff Support and VEMO offer gas strut options across many vehicle and accessory applications. The correct gas strut depends on the vehicle, panel location, length, force rating and end fitting style.

Why Gas Strut Condition Matters

Gas struts lose pressure over time. When they weaken, the panel may sag, drop unexpectedly or require extra effort to lift. This can be inconvenient and may be unsafe when working under a bonnet or loading through a tailgate.

Gas struts are often replaced in pairs so both sides support the panel evenly. The wrong length or pressure rating can affect how the panel opens, closes and stays supported.

Common Signs You May Need Gas Struts

  • Panel drops: The bonnet, boot or tailgate will not stay open.
  • Heavy lifting: The panel feels harder to raise than normal.
  • Slow movement: The strut no longer assists the opening action properly.
  • Visible damage: Bent rods, oil marks or damaged ends may indicate failure.
  • Uneven support: One side may feel weaker than the other.
  • Cold weather weakness: Weak struts may perform worse in lower temperatures.
  • Accessory changes: Added weight from spoilers, canopies or accessories may require a different strut specification.

Choosing the Right Gas Struts

The easiest way to find the right gas struts is to use our simple rego finder or manually select your vehicle. This helps narrow the product list to options suited to your vehicle, so you are not sorting through struts that may not match your bonnet, boot, tailgate or hatch application. Always check the product page for any specific notes.

When comparing suitable options, check length, end fittings, force rating and whether the product is sold individually or as a pair. Installation is also available if you would prefer your gas struts supplied and fitted.
