Need Hyundai Tucson Boot Struts Replacement?

Hyundai Tucson boot struts, also known as tailgate gas struts, help keep your trunk open safely. When they become weak, the tailgate may feel heavy, drop suddenly, or fail to stay open.

Gastac provides replacement Hyundai Tucson boot struts compatible with OEM numbers 81771 2e000, 81770d7000, 817712s000, 81780d7000, SG367012. Send us your vehicle model or OEM number, and we can help confirm the right replacement.

Why Do Hyundai Tucson Boot Struts Fail?

Hyundai Tucson boot struts can fail due to seal aging, gas pressure loss, temperature changes, or long-term wear.

Common symptoms include:

• Drifting or falling: The tailgate struggles to stay up or drops under its own weight.
• Stiffness: The hatch feels unusually heavy to open.
• Fluid leaks: Visible oil or grease around the piston rod may indicate a leaking seal.

If these signs appear, replacing both boot struts helps restore stable tailgate support. Gastac supplies quality-tested replacement struts for safe and reliable daily use.

• Support the hatch: Have someone hold the tailgate fully open, or use a secure prop stick to prevent it from falling.
• Remove the old strut: Use a flathead screwdriver to gently lift the small retaining clip, then pull the strut off the ball mount. Repeat for both ends.
• Install the new strut: Align the new strut with the ball mounts and push it into place until the clip snaps securely.
• Check the direction: Keep the thicker cylinder end facing upward toward the car roof and the thinner rod end pointing downward.
• Replace both sides: Always replace both struts together to keep even pressure and prevent premature wear.
