997588 SACHS COIL SPRING

This little guy’s job is pretty simple—it helps support the weight of your hatch or trunk lid and controls how smoothly it opens and closes. It uses gas pressure to do that lifting and softening. It basically takes the strain off the hinges, making everything easier. It’s not a structural part, more like a helper. Think of it as an assist. Your hinges do most of the work, but this spring takes a lot of the effort out of lifting—and lowers things in a controlled way too. It’s usually on the outside of the hatch or trunk area, visible when it’s open. It works in tandem with another one on the opposite side to keep everything balanced. Well, without it, lifting your hatch would be a real struggle, and it would likely slam down pretty hard. You’ll notice if one goes bad because the hatch will either be very difficult to lift, or it’ll drop quickly and unexpectedly. It prevents damage to the hatch itself and keeps it from potentially hurting someone. They do wear out over time, as the gas pressure decreases. You can find replacements pretty easily; places like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace and it makes a big difference in usability and safety. Shop smarter: Gas Spring Boot/Cargo Area (MPN 997588) is covered for 12 months!
