RELIABLE CAR STRUTS ON-SITE

Gas struts are responsible for lifting the boot or bonnet and keeping it open easily – until the piston loses gas and lifting power. Replacing car struts is – in theory – a straightforward operation well within the ambit of the DIY mechanic who uses the exact replacement part. However, we have found that sourcing the precise strut is often impossible unless you buy expensive original equipment. We provide a convenient solution by regassing your current car struts or supplying the best equivalent.

Fit the Right Gas Struts for Your Car

Installing the correct gas strut for the boot or bonnet is critical for convenience and safety. It’s all about pressures, angles and lengths that must be exactly as designed; otherwise, the replacement strut won’t work. Use a spring with too much pressure; the boot will fly open quickly and be challenging to close. A shock that is too long will damage the hinges of the boot or tailgate, whereas a short strut will prevent opening it completely.

We provide an almost unique service with our mobile workshop for replacing or regassing car boot struts in the Melbourne metro area. We come to you, remove the existing spring, test it, regas it and re-install the replacement. We can advise on equivalent struts if the existing ones cannot be reconditioned, and we can provide the correct shocks if your car has gull-wing doors. The process takes about an hour because we thoroughly test each strut for integrity issues before handing it off.

Bonnet, Boot and Tailgate Struts for Australia

Going beyond simple regassing and replacing, we can assist you with improving existing car struts or installing struts in your car where there are currently none. Most OEM car boot struts are designed for unmodified vehicles, but the springs struggle once you add some weight to the tailgate or bonnet. We assist you on-site with calculating the correct pressure and diameter of a strut that will lift the new weight, and we install the bonnet and boot struts right there.

We fit gas struts for the following car makes:

Audi, Alpha Romeo, BMW, Cadilac, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Citroen, Daewoo, Daihatsu, Ferrari, Ford, Holden, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Isusu, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Lancia, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Pajero, Peugeot, Porsche, Proton, Renault, Rover, SAAB, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volvo, VW
