Purpose and function of the tailgate gas strut

The presented gas strut is a component of the tailgate lifting system in the Volkswagen Touareg 7P generation, operating on the right and left side. It is responsible for the smooth lifting of the lid, keeping it in a stable position, and controlled lowering, which reduces the risk of the lid falling suddenly and improves the comfort of operating the vehicle. Thanks to the factory OEM design, the gas strut works with the original hinges, lock, and other components of the tailgate mechanism, maintaining the correct geometry and operating parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Construction and technical fitment

The gas strut belongs to the Gas springs, locks, hinges, and other parts group, which means it has been designed to work in demanding operating conditions – with frequent opening and closing of the tailgate and varying ambient temperatures. The gas-based construction ensures the appropriate force characteristics while maintaining compact dimensions, allowing for installation in factory mounting points. The placement on the vehicle on the right and left side allows the component to be used as a pair of gas struts, which is important for maintaining an even load on the tailgate. Replacing both sides simultaneously promotes uniform operation of the mechanism and reduces asymmetrical wear on the hinges and the lock.

Condition, origin, and benefits of using a used part

The offered gas strut comes from dismantling and is marked as a used original part. In practice, this means maintaining factory fitment parameters to the bodywork and compatibility with other tailgate components, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of problems with geometry or leaks. Choosing an original used part is often a reasonable compromise between cost and durability. A component designed by the vehicle manufacturer is usually better fitted than a cheap replacement, which translates into more stable tailgate operation, less stress on the hinges and lock, and more predictable behavior over a longer period of use. If you want to better understand why such a solution is beneficial, read the article on our blog: Why original parts from dismantling fit better than cheap equivalents.

Comfort of use and operational safety

A functional tailgate gas strut has a direct impact on the convenience of daily car use. Properly selected operating characteristics facilitate opening the tailgate, reduce the need for force, and ensure stable holding of the lid in the upper position, which is especially important when loading heavier items. A properly working component also reduces the loads transferred to the hinges and the lock, which can extend the service life of the entire tailgate mechanism. Replacing a worn gas strut with an original equivalent helps restore the factory feel when opening and closing the trunk, without unwanted jerks or the lid falling.
