Application and Function in Mercedes B‑Class W245

This right-side tailgate gas strut is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle body, where it is responsible for the controlled lifting and stable holding of the tailgate. Thanks to its precisely selected operating characteristics, it ensures:

• smooth, jerk-free opening of the trunk lid,
• secure holding of the tailgate in the open position,
• reduced stress on the tailgate hinges and mountings,
• comfortable one-handed trunk operation.

Its placement on the right side of the vehicle allows for maintaining the correct operating geometry of the entire tailgate lifting system, which is important for hinge durability and user convenience.

Construction, Fit, and Installation

The tailgate gas strut for the B‑Class W245 is constructed as an OEM component, meaning its length, mounting points, and force characteristics are in line with the manufacturer's factory specifications. This ensures:

• a perfect fit with the original mounting points on the body and tailgate,
• no need for modifications or additional adapters,
• maintenance of the correct tailgate opening angle,
• preservation of the manufacturer-specified trunk operation comfort.

A used OEM part is a good choice for tailgate servicing when you want to maintain the factory specifications without resorting to cheaper aftermarket alternatives with uncertain parameters.

Benefits of Using an Original Strut

Using an original tailgate gas strut in the Mercedes B‑Class W245 helps maintain the structural integrity of the rear body section. Key benefits include:

• factory fit for the B‑Class W245 model,
• maintenance of the manufacturer-specified tailgate support force,
• stable operation throughout the full opening range,
• reduced risk of uncontrolled tailgate descent.

This solution is particularly recommended when replacing a single right-side strut, especially if the left strut is still functional and you wish to maintain uniform operation of the entire system.

Condition and Compatibility Verification

The offered strut is a used part, allowing for an economical repair of the tailgate while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Before purchasing, it is advisable to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle using the OEM markings and interchangeable part numbers available in the technical specifications.
