  • Wear-related loss of gas strut pressure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the measured length, lifting length, and attachment-point diameter against the original support before installation. Confirm left and right application details for your BMW 5 Series model, and replace only with the correct lift support specification for the tailgate position listed. Compare the old support’s extended and compressed dimensions to ensure proper alignment and operation.
