About part number 32227617

A tailgate strut is a gas-filled hydraulic stay that helps lift and support the rear door of a vehicle. It connects the bodywork of the car to the frame of the tailgate. When the strut is working correctly, the tailgate opens smoothly and stays safely suspended in the air without dropping on the user.

To confirm that this part is correct for your vehicle, you must check the part number on your original component. The manufacturer number for this item is 32227617, and it is typically printed or stamped onto the metal casing of the old strut. You must match this number exactly to ensure proper fitment, as matching the part number is the only way to guarantee compatibility.

These struts are usually replaced when they lose internal gas pressure, causing the tailgate to become heavy or fail to stay open. Mechanics often recommend replacing tailgate struts in matching pairs so that both sides support the weight equally and lift the door evenly.

About this kind of part: doors

A door is a steel or aluminium shell made of an outer skin folded over an inner frame, with a reinforcement bar inside it. What arrives as a used door varies: a bare shell, a shell with the glass and the regulator still in it, or a complete door with the trim panel, the speaker, the lock and the wiring. The hinges, the check strap, the mirror and the handles are separate parts that may or may not come with it. A tailgate or boot lid is the same kind of part at the back of the car.

Why people replace one

  • A collision has creased the skin, and a crease in a folded edge cannot be pulled out to a paintable finish.
  • Rust has started along the bottom edge or around the lower corners, which is where water sits inside the shell.
  • The window regulator or the lock has failed and replacing the whole door is cheaper than the parts and the labour.
  • A door has been keyed or scraped the full length and will need more filler than a replacement skin would.
  • Aluminium corrosion has blistered the paint, which happens where an aluminium door has been repaired with steel fasteners.

Fitting it

  • A door comes off at the hinges, and most need the hinge bolts marked before they are slackened so the gaps can be found again.
  • Doors are heavy and awkward. A second person or a stand makes the difference between an easy job and a damaged edge.
  • The wiring runs through a rubber boot into the pillar. Release the connector inside the car rather than pulling the loom through.
  • Gaps and the closing line are set at the hinges and at the striker, and are worth setting before the door is painted.
  • A door is supplied in primer or in its original colour, and a matching finish needs the paint code from the car's own identification plate.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number. Front and rear doors differ, the two sides differ, and a three-door and a five-door shell of the same model are different parts.
  • Check what is included and what is not. A bare shell needs the glass, the regulator, the lock, the trim and the wiring moved across from your own door.
  • Check the material. A steel door and an aluminium door for the same model exist on some cars, and they take different fasteners and different repair methods.
  • Compare the openings: a mirror mount, a keyhole, and the cut-outs for a handle or a sensor differ between trim levels.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Stamped or on a label on the inner frame, often near a hinge or inside the lower edge.
B Hinge mounts — The faces the hinges bolt to. Check the threads are clean and the metal around them is not distorted.
C Lower edge — The folded seam along the bottom, inside and out. This is where rust begins and where a photograph taken from above will not show it.
D What is fitted inside — Whether the glass, the regulator, the lock and the loom are still in the shell. This changes the job completely.
E Mirror and handle openings — The cut-outs for the mirror, the handle and any sensor. Compare them with your own door.
F Skin surface — Look along the panel at a shallow angle rather than straight at it. A crease or a ripple shows in a raking light and disappears in a flat one.
