Gas struts are the small but crucial parts that make lifting your car boot or bonnet safer and easier. If a gas strut fails, it will be unable to support the load and may gradually creep down or drop without warning. It’s important to replace them as soon as a problem is identified to avoid serious injuries.

Gas struts are an underappreciated car accessory which make all the difference with everyday activities. They lift and maintain the bonnet or boot without the need to rely on a mechanical spring or metal support. This is useful for when you need to grab things from out of the boot or work on something in your engine bay uninterrupted.
If gas struts fail, they can lead to serious injuries. They usually fail due to loss of pressure which can cause the struts to slowly creep downwards, or drop suddenly. If this happens, it is imperative that they are replaced as soon as possible. To prevent injuries related to gas strut failure, it is a good idea to replace them once you notice any early signs of failure.
Natrad now stocks a large range of gas strut sets suitable to all kinds of vehicles. Talk to a technician at your nearest store who can help you find the right solution for you.

It’s a good idea to check the following on a cold morning as this influences the gas inside the strut. If the strut is slow to open, sags or can’t hold weight well there is likely a problem. It’s important to replace them once this happens as they may drop very suddenly and cause injuries.
This is individual to the car user for several reasons. The design of the vehicle and quality of stock gas struts may not be very high – which could influence when they fail. If you use your struts often, this can also impact their lifespan. There is no rule of thumb but testing your struts often on a cold morning is a good idea.

No, especially not in older cars. They tend to have a spring loaded bonnet or boot hatch and often rely on a metal rod to keep the panel open. Modern cars can also have electrically assisted hatch systems.
