R&P Service Insight
Gas springs are size-sensitive and force-sensitive. A replacement should match the original strut’s extended length, stroke, end style, and force rating to keep the hatch or cover operating correctly.
- Length Check: Match the 10" extended length to the strut being replaced.
- Force Check: Confirm the original application calls for a 20 lb gas spring.
- End Check: Verify the mounting points use standard 10mm ball ends.

R&P Repair Insight
A worn or incorrect gas spring can allow a hatch or cover to sag, close too quickly, or fail to stay open. Matching the original force rating is just as important as matching the physical size.
- Check Existing Markings: Compare the part number and force rating printed on the original strut.
- Check Ball Studs: Make sure the existing mounting hardware is secure and compatible with 10mm ends.
- Check Pairing: If the application uses two gas springs, replacing both sides together may help keep support even.
