The importance of regular maintenance
Although gas springs are essentially maintenance-free, hinge points and mounting components can wear out or corrode over time. This can lead to squeaking noises or reduced smoothness of movement in the tailgate. By periodically inspecting and treating these components, functionality is maintained and premature wear is prevented
Recommended lubricants and their use
For lubricating the moving parts of gas springs, such as hinge points and mounting clamps, we recommend using a silicone spray or a lubricant specifically designed for this purpose. These products reduce friction and provide protection against rust. It is important not to treat the piston rod itself with lubricants, as this can damage the seals and affect the operation of the gas spring.
