Purpose and fitment for BMW X1 F48

The offered strut has been designed for the BMW X1 F48 model, taking into account the hinge geometry, tailgate weight, and the operating characteristics of the rear body section. The right-side placement on the vehicle ensures proper cooperation with the left strut, which is crucial for even load distribution and the durability of the entire lifting system.

The component belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts group, making it structurally adapted to work in demanding conditions – frequent opening cycles, temperature changes, and exposure to external contaminants.

Technical and functional characteristics

The tailgate strut is responsible for the controlled lifting and holding of the tailgate in a stable operating position. The properly selected lifting force characteristics ensure:

• smooth tailgate opening without jerking,
• safe holding of the tailgate in the upper position,
• balanced closing without excessive strain on the hinges.

Thanks to a design consistent with solutions used by BMW, the strut works with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of improper tailgate alignment relative to the body.

Benefits of using the original right-side strut

Using the correct strut on the right side has a direct impact on the comfort of using the trunk. A properly selected component:

• ensures predictable tailgate behavior throughout the full range of motion,
• limits the loads transferred to the hinges and rear panel,
• reduces the risk of the tailgate falling during stationary use.

By choosing a tailgate strut dedicated to the BMW X1 F48, you minimize the need for additional adjustments and fitting, and the entire lifting system operates under conditions close to factory specifications.

Used condition and practical aspects

The offered component is in used condition, which allows for an economical replacement of the strut while maintaining compliance with factory specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for maintenance repairs, where it is crucial to combine functionality with a reasonable cost. A used strut with preserved operational efficiency allows for the restoration of proper tailgate function without the need to invest in a new component.
