Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented strut is designed for installation in the front of the vehicle, with the possibility of use on both the left and right sides. This solution allows for flexible adjustment to the bonnet configuration in the Porsche 718 Boxster 982, while also facilitating service – one type of component can handle both sides, in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.

Technical and functional characteristics

The bonnet strut belongs to the Gas springs and struts group, meaning it uses compressed gas energy to smoothly lift and support the body panel. Properly selected operating characteristics ensure:

• controlled bonnet opening without sudden movements,
• stable maintenance of the bonnet in the open position,
• reduced load on hinges and mounts,
• comfortable operation even with frequent use of the front luggage compartment.

Thanks to a design consistent with factory Porsche standards, the strut works with original mounting points without the need for modifications or additional adapters. This is a beneficial solution both in terms of durability and maintaining the original body geometry.

Original origin and condition of the component

The strut comes from the Porsche range, which translates into compliance with factory requirements regarding force, stroke, and operating characteristics. The component is in used condition, which in practice means it has been previously operated but can still perform its function as a replacement for a worn or damaged strut in your car. Choosing an original used component is often a reasonable compromise between quality and repair cost.
