Key Benefits

• Restores Smooth Opening & Closing: Helps eliminate heavy, uneven or unpredictable tailgate movement, letting the rear door lift and lower without manual strain.

• Enhanced Safety: Controlled gas-spring support prevents the tailgate from sudden drops or slams, reducing risk of injury or damage.

• Direct Fit for XC60: Designed to match common OEM references used on Volvo XC60 models 2008-2017 (and later with compatible mounts), delivering a straight swap replacement on compatible vehicles.

• Increased Longevity: New struts offer reliable performance over time and withstand repeated opening and closing cycles typical of daily use.

• Improved Boot Convenience: Reduced manual effort — especially on heavy SUV tailgates — makes everyday use easier for drivers of all ages.

• Suites Manual or Power Tailgates: Many aftermarket options or compatible replacements serve both standard and some electric/powered tailgate configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is a tailgate gas strut?
A tailgate gas strut is a compressed-gas spring that supports the tailgate (boot lid), helping it open smoothly and stay up without falling. It absorbs weight and provides controlled movement when lifting or lowering the tailgate.

Q2: Why do tailgate struts wear out?
Over time, heat, weather and constant pressure cycling can weaken gas struts, causing them to lose force, fail to hold the tailgate up, or make noise when operating.

Q3: What are signs the gas struts need replacing?
Common symptoms include tailgate sagging or not staying open, uneven movement, much heavier manual lifting, and strut noise or hesitation during motion.

Q4: Are these struts compatible with an electric tailgate?
Some pairs like this one fit manual and electric versions of the XC60’s tailgate. If your vehicle has motorised automatic opening, check the specific part’s OEM references before ordering.

Q5: Should both struts be replaced together?
Yes — replacing both left and right gas struts together ensures even support and balanced tailgate movement, preventing uneven wear or stress on hinges.
