Maintainyour Gas Springs this Summer

Gas springs are found in the majority of UK vehicles today and Kilen have provided some tips ahead of the holiday season. Designed to support the opening and closing of the vehicles boot or bonnet, gas springs aide the elevation, hold the weight open, as well as allow for a safe and controlled close. An important point to remember is that each spring is specifically designed to hold up half the total weight of the tail gate or bonnet. So it’s important to always replace deteriorating gas springs in pairs.

With vehicle manufacturers now using gas springs for the bonnet as well as the boot, garages should be checking and recommending gas spring replacement when necessary. There are over 1,670 Kilen gas spring references, manufactured to OE standards within the FPS range, available to purchase same or next day delivery.
