Product Details
Womala Support Strut 30852060 Gas Struts for Volvo S40 Body Auto
Parts
The Support Strut (Gas Struts, OE Number: 30852060) is a key
mechanical component for Volvo S40 (-04) models (produced up to
2004). Typically installed on the vehicle’s trunk lid, hood, or
rear hatch, it uses compressed gas (usually nitrogen) enclosed in a
cylinder to provide controlled, smooth lifting and holding force.
As an OE-grade part, it matches Volvo’s strict performance
standards—ensuring consistent lifting strength and durability,
which eliminates the need for manual support when opening the
trunk/hood and keeps them securely held open.
Constructed with a high-strength steel cylinder (resistant to
pressure deformation), a precision-machined piston rod
(chrome-plated to prevent rust and wear), and a sealed gas chamber
(leak-proof), this gas strut endures frequent use and environmental
factors. It resists temperature fluctuations (maintaining
performance in -30°C to 80°C), avoids gas leakage (which would
reduce lifting force), and withstands vibration—ensuring long-term
reliable operation.
Core Functions
- Lifting & Holding: Provides balanced lifting force to open the
trunk lid or hood smoothly with minimal manual effort. It also
holds the component securely in the open position (e.g., keeping
the hood raised during engine maintenance), preventing sudden
dropping and ensuring safety.
- Damping & Cushioning: Controls the speed of opening/closing to
avoid slamming. This reduces impact noise and prevents damage to
the trunk/hood hinges or body panels caused by abrupt movement.
- Wear Reduction: Reduces friction on hinges and latches by bearing
the weight of the trunk/hood. This extends the service life of
these components and maintains their structural integrity.
Compatible Vehicles
This Support Strut (OE: 30852060) is exclusively tailored for the
following Volvo model and year range:
| Model | Applicable Year Range |
|---|
| Volvo S40 (-04) | 1996–2004 |
Notes
- Application Specific: Confirm whether this strut is for the trunk
lid or hood—Volvo S40 (-04) uses distinct gas struts for different
positions (they differ in length and lifting force). Check the
original strut’s part number or consult Volvo’s service manual for
clarity.
- Replacement Pairing: Gas struts lose pressure over time (typically
3–5 years). For balanced performance, replace struts in pairs (even
if only one fails)—using a new and old strut together will cause
uneven force, leading to misalignment or premature wear.
- Safety Precautions: When replacing, use a prop (e.g., a sturdy rod)
to hold the trunk/hood open—never rely on a weak or failed strut.
Also, avoid compressing or disassembling the strut manually
(high-pressure gas inside can cause injury if released
unexpectedly).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How to determine if the bumper bracket needs replacement?
A: Signs of a failing bumper bracket include visible damage or
deformation, misaligned bumper panels, unusual noises from the
front end, or if the bumper appears loose or sagging on one side.
Q: What should be paid attention to when replacing the bumper
bracket?
A: For optimal results, we recommend professional installation. Key
considerations include ensuring proper alignment of all mounting
points, checking for additional damaged components, and verifying
all fasteners are properly torqued to specification.
