Powerdown Gas Spr.L518 X 960NPowerdown gas springs (gas struts) provide controlled compressed-gas resistance for heavy truck bonnet, access panel and cab door support. A working gas spring holds the bonnet or panel open securely while the driver or technician inspects the engine bay or performs maintenance. A failed gas spring allows the bonnet to drop without warning - a genuine injury hazard in any workshop or roadside maintenance environment.Gas springs have a finite service life. The internal gas charge gradually leaks over time, reducing the spring force until the bonnet no longer stays open reliably. Replacement is straightforward and eliminates a significant safety risk. Provides controlled and reliable bonnet/panel support for safe inspection and maintenance access Available in a range of extended lengths and force ratings to suit different bonnet and panel weights Eliminates the safety hazard of a bonnet or panel dropping during maintenance or roadside inspection Straightforward direct replacement - no modification required for OEM mounting points Correct gas spring force specified for panel weight to hold securely at full extension Signs your gas spring needs replacing: Bonnet or panel will not stay open under its own weight, requires propping open with a stick or rod, operates more slowly than normal, or visible oil contamination on the piston rod. Replace immediately - a dropped bonnet causes serious injury.Part number: GS5210 | Vendor: Powerdown | Australian designed for heavy commercial vehicles | Technical enquiries: 02 4949 0000 | [email protected]
