Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented gas pressure strut is designed for installation in the rear of the body, on the left side. It is responsible for controlled opening and supporting the tailgate in the upper position, which facilitates daily use of the cargo space in the Touring version. The component has been designed to maintain the correct operating geometry of the tailgate and the appropriate support force.

Construction and technical characteristics

The tailgate gas strut in this model is based on precisely selected gas pressure and a sealed cylinder design, which allows for smooth tailgate movement throughout the entire range of motion. The used mounting ends allow for direct connection to the hinges and body mounts, without the need for modifications. The properly selected operating characteristics reduce sudden tailgate dropping and improve handling comfort.

Benefits of using an original strut

Using a dedicated strut in the Mercedes E-Class S211 Touring ensures:

• consistency with the factory design of the tailgate and hinges,
• stable support of the tailgate in the open position,
• more predictable, smooth opening and closing,
• reduction of loads acting on the hinges and mounts.

Thanks to this, operating the cargo area remains convenient and safe, and the tailgate operation is close to the vehicle's factory parameters.

Component condition and service application

The offered strut comes from dismantling and is a used component, which makes it an attractive service solution for maintenance repairs. It works especially well in situations where the existing strut has lost some of its force, the tailgate drops, or opens with noticeable resistance. Replacing it with a functional component allows you to restore the correct operation of the mechanism without the need to interfere with the body structure.

Selection by part numbers and additional support

When selecting a strut for a specific body version and model year, it is worth paying attention to the OEM part number and available replacement numbers to maintain full compliance with the factory specification.
