Purpose and Function of Bonnet Struts

• service comfort – making inspections and repairs easier,
• stable bonnet operation – smooth opening and closing without jerking.

Technical Characteristics and Fitment

• appropriately selected support force – the bonnet remains in a stable working position,
• smooth operating stroke – controlled opening and closing without excessive resistance,
• compatibility with factory mounting points – no body modifications required.

As elements from the gas springs and struts group, they are designed to operate under typical vehicle operating conditions, taking into account temperature changes and dynamic loads during driving.

Product Condition and Benefits of Choosing Used Parts

The offered set is a used part, allowing for economical replacement of components while maintaining functionality close to factory standards. Choosing this solution is beneficial when you prioritize:
