Purpose and function of the strut

The presented strut operates in the rear part of the body on the left side, responsible for the movement of the automatic tailgate. The component is part of the lid lifting and closing system, ensuring smooth operation of the mechanism and proper guidance of the tailgate relative to the body.

Thanks to its fitment for the specific body configuration of the BMW X3 G01, the strut works with the factory control system, maintaining the operating parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This is particularly important in cars with an automatic transmission, where the comfort of operating the vehicle – including access to the trunk – is an important element of daily use.

Construction and fitment for BMW X3 G01

The strut has been designed as a component dedicated to the rear left side of the tailgate, which facilitates proper positioning during installation and minimizes the risk of incorrect fitment. The design, intended for use with the factory mounting points in the BMW X3 G01 body, allows for maintaining the geometry of the tailgate operation and the appropriate lifting and closing force.

As a part from the Tailgates and rear parts group, the strut interacts with the hinges, lock, and other elements of the system, creating a coherent opening and closing system. Using an original solution dedicated to this model limits the need for modifications and allows for maintaining the factory standard of trunk operation.

Benefits of using an original strut

Using the correct strut in the BMW X3 G01 translates into:

• proper operation of the automatic tailgate throughout the full range of movement,
• stable guidance of the tailgate on the left side, without excessive play or overloads,
• maintaining the comfort of using the luggage compartment, especially during frequent opening and closing,
• consistency with the factory control system and other elements of the rear body section.

For the user, this means convenient access to the trunk, predictable behavior of the tailgate, and a reduction in the risk of damage resulting from improper operation of the lifting mechanism.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered strut is a used component, which allows for an economical repair of the tailgate system while maintaining compatibility with the factory solution. Such components are often chosen in situations where the priority is to restore the full functionality of the vehicle at reasonable service costs.

Replacing a worn or damaged strut with a functional equivalent from the same assembly group allows for reducing the load on the hinges and the tailgate lock, and also reduces the risk of the trunk lid falling uncontrollably.
