Detailed Description

Vaico V95-0405 is a replacement gas strut for the rear power lift gate on the 2012-2016 Volvo XC70. It is specified for vehicles without Emergency Open and cross-references OE No. 31335795, making it a direct-fit option for owners searching for a Volvo XC70 liftgate strut, rear hatch support, or power tailgate gas spring replacement. The measured dimensions and 370 N eject force help maintain smooth liftgate operation and stable support during opening and closing.

VAICO focuses on application-specific replacement parts, and this V95-0405 lift support follows the listed OE-style dimensions for the correct fitment on the XC70 platform. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 31 335 795) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear liftgate that drops too quickly
• Weak or inconsistent hatch support
• Power tailgate that no longer holds open properly
• Difficulty opening the rear gate smoothly
• Noise or uneven movement from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a power lift gate and does not have Emergency Open before ordering. Match the OE number, dimensions, and eject force to the original support on the vehicle. Inspect both liftgate struts together, since uneven wear can affect opening balance and closing effort. Confirm the mounting points and overall length against the removed part before installation.

Quality Assurance

Vaico V95-0405 is built as an OE-reference replacement for the listed Volvo XC70 application and is identified by the OE number 31335795 for catalog accuracy and fit verification.
