These are basically pressurized cylinders – think of them like a muscle helping to push or support something. They provide controlled motion, so something doesn’t just fall open or slam shut. They’re filled with gas, usually nitrogen, and that pressure is what provides the force. They can either assist with lifting – like a hood or trunk lid – or control the rate at which something moves. They’re all over, actually. The most common place people think of is under the hood, helping lift it and hold it open. You'll find them on the trunk lid and rear hatch too, doing the same thing. But they aren’t limited to that. Some are used in seat adjustments, or even to control the folding mechanism of seats. They help with interior trim pieces too, holding panels in place or making them move smoothly. They are really about controlled movement and support. If a gas spring goes bad, you’ll notice if it's a hood or trunk – things will start falling down on you, or you’ll have to hold them up yourself. It’s a safety issue first and foremost. But even if it's an interior panel, a failing spring can make things rattle, or the panel won't stay where it’s supposed to. It’s about more than just convenience; it’s about keeping things functioning properly and safely. A weak or broken spring puts strain on other parts too, potentially leading to more expensive repairs down the line. You can often find replacements pretty easily; places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. We’ve got your back: GAS SPRING (MPN 8N0881177A) is covered for 12 months!
