Bring the lift back to your Hyundai i30 FD 1st Gen tailgate with this pair of tailgate gas struts from Nitro Struts. When the factory struts fail, you're left holding the tailgate up with one hand or wedging it open with whatever's nearby. This pair fixes that properly, for a fraction of the dealer price.

Installation Notes
Tailgate strut replacement is one of the easier DIY jobs on a car — usually 10–15 minutes with no special tools. Open the tailgate fully and prop it securely before starting (a second person makes this much easier). Pop the spring clip on each ball socket, lift the old strut off, and clip the new one on in the same orientation. Always replace both as a pair — running a fresh strut against a worn one will kill the new one early.
Signs You Need New Struts
- Tailgate drops or sags on its own
- Slow, weak rise when you let go
- Particularly bad on cold mornings (gas pressure drops with temperature)
- Visible oil residue on the chrome shaft, or hissing when compressed
- Tailgate needs to be held open or propped with something

Excellent service and good quality, and the struts fit as stated.
Good value & prompt delivery, fits ok but really needs to be 10mm or so shorter for a I30 & we have three of them.
Struts arrived promptly and were exactly what we needed
Great value. Struts delivered, and were easy to fit (after a few minutes with a YouTube video). Very happy, and a lot easier and cheaper to getting the struts replaced at a garage or even a we-come-to-you strut replacement service.
Very happy with the service I phoned up to make sure I ordered the correct parts and I got the correct parts.
Reasonably priced for an Australian product. Arrived promptly. Easy to exchange. Operate better than expected.
Delivered on time, fitted perfectly. Wife (her car) couldn't be happier.
First time I've ever replaced these on a car, did it myself easily and really glad I did. They're surprisingly strong! I didn't realise just how much the original ones had weakened over 12 years. If your car is 10+ years old, get new ones, this brand worked great.
I ordered the wrong part, a quick phone call and all sorted with the right part on the way. Big thumbs up , highly recommend.
Website indicated two different strut sizes for my car to prompt for correct measurement, and struts provided fit perfectly (unlike experience from a competitor).
Amazing ! Easy to fit, fast communication and fast postage. Thank you
