Universal gas struts for vehicles

This pack contains two black gas springs designed to lift and hold bonnets, hatches or access panels on cars, boats, RVs and buses. Each strut delivers a 51 lbs or 227 N force to support medium to heavy covers during maintenance or loading. The metal construction is intended for long-lasting use in automotive and marine environments. Installation uses simple hand tools and takes only a few minutes.

Mounting dimensions and daily use

The struts extend to 30.5 cm and compress to 19 cm, with a total length of 32.5 cm and a rod length of 11 cm. End fittings feature a 10 mm hole diameter, a 6 mm connecting rod diameter and a 15 mm housing diameter. These ball-socket style mounts attach directly to existing brackets on the vehicle. The black metal finish resists corrosion from road salt and moisture. No special tools are required for fitting or removal.

Checks before ordering

Verify that the 51 lbs per strut force matches the weight of the panel you intend to support. Confirm the mounting points on your vehicle accept a 10 mm hole and 6 mm rod. Measure the available space to ensure the 30.5 cm extended and 19 cm compressed lengths fit the application. Ensure the 15 mm housing diameter clears surrounding components. The pack includes only the two gas springs; brackets or bolts are not supplied.
