Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented electric strut operates at the rear of the vehicle, on the right side, as part of the tailgate drive mechanism. It is responsible for transferring torque from the control system to the lifting mechanism, allowing the tailgate to open and close smoothly while maintaining the correct speed and end position.

Its placement in the Rear – right area means that the component works in conjunction with other lifting system parts on that side of the vehicle, which is crucial for the correct distribution of forces and the operating geometry of the entire tailgate.

Benefits of using an original BMW component

The strut comes from the BMW OE line, which translates into factory-perfect fitment for the bodywork and electrical installation of the BMW X4 G02 / F98. The original design ensures:

• compatibility with factory mounting points in the rear of the vehicle,
• correct operating parameters within the electric tailgate opening system,
• consistency with the vehicle's software and control logic.

As a result, installation is predictable, without the need for modifications to the wiring or interference with the tailgate structure, and the system retains the characteristics intended by the manufacturer.

Condition, origin and service application

The offered strut is a used component, which allows for cost-effective repair of the tailgate lifting system while maintaining the original BMW specification. This type of part is particularly useful in situations where:

• the existing electric strut has lost its smoothness of operation or stopped responding to controller commands,
• mechanical damage has occurred in the right side of the tailgate mounting,
• it is necessary to replace only one of the drive components without interfering with the others.

Selection based on the OEM number and interchangeable part numbers allows for verifying compatibility with a specific equipment version and model year of the BMW X4, which minimizes the risk of mismatch.

Professional installation and operation

Due to the electric nature of the drive and its integration with the vehicle's body control system, installation by a workshop experienced with BMW tailgate systems is recommended. Correct setting of the end positions, inspection of the electrical harness, and verification of operation on both the right and left sides ensure long-term, stable performance.

A properly selected and installed strut restores the comfort of trunk operation, reduces mechanical stress on hinges and mounting elements, and limits the risk of overloads in the control system.

How to choose a used strut for your BMW X4

To select the correct strut for a specific version of the BMW X4 G02 / F98, it is worth using the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, as well as information about the placement on the vehicle. This helps avoid situations where a component from a different body configuration or equipment level will not work correctly with the vehicle's electronics.
