A boot gas strut, also known as a lift support or gas spring, is a component of a vehicle’s trunk or boot that helps to keep it open and support its weight. It consists of a cylinder filled with compressed gas and a piston that moves up and down within the cylinder.When the trunk is opened, the boot gas strut extends and provides a force that counterbalances the weight of the trunk, making it easier to lift and hold open. When the trunk is closed, the gas strut compresses and stores the energy for the next time the trunk is opened.Over time, a boot gas strut can wear out and lose its ability to support the trunk properly. Signs of a failing gas strut include the trunk slowly lowering or not staying open at all. In such cases, it is important to replace the gas strut to prevent the trunk from suddenly closing and potentially injuring someone.
