Purpose and function in the vehicle

The set of struts is designed for installation in the rear body area, specifically in the tailgate zone. The set includes components mounted on the right and left sides, which ensures even load distribution and correct operating geometry of the entire mechanism. The struts are responsible for the controlled lifting and lowering of the tailgate, stabilizing its position, and maintaining the appropriate support force during trunk use.

Complete pair – benefits of replacing both sides

Replacing the struts as a complete pair is a technically advantageous solution because it:

• ensures similar operating parameters on both sides of the tailgate,
• reduces the risk of uneven load on hinges and mounts,
• facilitates the diagnosis of potential future faults in the tailgate area,
• restores predictable, repeatable tailgate behavior.

By using a complete set of struts, you achieve consistent operation of the lifting mechanism, which translates into daily convenience and reduces unwanted stress on the tailgate structure.

Original origin and fitment for Mercedes GLC X253

The struts come from a group of parts dedicated to the Mercedes brand, which means maintaining factory mounting geometry and compatibility with the GLC X253 body structure. Proper fitment for the specific model minimizes the need for modifications, facilitates installation, and allows for maintaining proper tailgate guidance throughout its entire range of motion. The product belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts group, making it consistent with other rear body components in terms of construction.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered set is a secondary market item, which allows for an economical repair of the tailgate system while maintaining the original design. A used component is a good choice when you want to preserve the factory technical solution while optimizing service costs. Replacing the struts in this configuration is particularly justified when the tailgate loses stability, sags, or requires excessive force to open.
