Stabilus 9582RK LIFT-O-MAT® Gas Strut 370 Newton

Stabilus 9582RK LIFT-O-MAT® Gas Strut 370 Newton

The Stabilus 9582RK LIFT‑O‑MAT® Gas Strut is a high‑performance, OEM‑grade gas spring designed to provide reliable lift and support for the rear tailgate of compact hatchbacks. Engineered with a maximum force rating of 370 Newtons, this strut delivers smooth, controlled motion that enhances both safety and convenience when opening or closing the boot.

Key Features

• Force Rating: 370 N – sufficient to counteract the weight of a fully loaded tailgate while maintaining a gentle lift.
• Length: 472 mm – optimized for standard hatchback dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit without modification.
• Construction: Stainless steel housing with corrosion‑resistant coating; high‑pressure gas cylinder sealed to prevent leaks.
• Installation: Designed for plug‑and‑play compatibility with the original mounting points on the vehicle’s rear frame and tailgate panel.
• Durability: Rated for thousands of cycles, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications for long‑term reliability.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle’s battery is disconnected to avoid accidental deployment of the gas spring during removal.
2. Remove Old Strut: Loosen and detach the mounting bolts on both the tailgate panel and the rear frame. Carefully lift the old strut away, noting its orientation for correct reinstallation.
3. Position New Strut: Align the Stabilus 9582RK with the original mounting holes. The front end attaches to the tailgate, while the rear end secures to the vehicle’s frame.
4. Tighten Bolts: Secure all bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications (typically 15 Nm). Use a calibrated torque wrench for precision.
5. Test Operation: Reconnect the battery and operate the tailgate several times. The strut should provide smooth lift, hold the gate in place when open, and return it to the closed position without excessive force.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: By maintaining a controlled opening height, the gas strut reduces the risk of accidental tailgate slamming.
• Improved Ergonomics: Users experience less effort when lifting or lowering the boot, especially when carrying heavy loads.
• Longevity: The robust construction resists corrosion and wear, ensuring consistent performance over many years.
• Compatibility: Designed to fit seamlessly into existing vehicle architecture without requiring additional modifications.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the mounting bolts every 12 months for tightness; re‑torque if necessary.
• Avoid exposing the strut to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments that could degrade the housing.
• If the tailgate feels sluggish, check for debris in the pivot area and clean as needed.
