FAQ
What are the signs of failing gas struts?
If your bonnet, boot, or tailgate no longer stays open, or slowly starts to drop, it’s a clear sign the gas struts have lost pressure. You may also notice difficulty lifting them, increased resistance, or hear air hiss from the strut itself. In colder weather, failing struts are often even more noticeable. Replacing or recharging the struts early helps avoid injury or damage to your vehicle or its hinges.
Can gas struts be recharged or do they need replacing?
Some gas struts can be recharged, especially if they’re designed for that purpose and the seals are still intact. However, most automotive gas struts are sealed units and need replacing once the internal gas escapes. A quick inspection can confirm the condition. If replacement is needed, matching the correct pressure and size is essential for safety and performance.
How long do gas struts usually last?
Most vehicle gas struts last between 3 to 5 years, but lifespan depends on usage, exposure to elements, and quality. Heavy daily use or frequent exposure to extreme temperatures can cause early failure. Regular inspections help identify early pressure loss or wear before complete failure occurs. Replacing them promptly ensures smooth and safe operation of your boot, bonnet, or tailgate.
