The gas strut is a key component that assists in opening and safely holding the heavy window in the open position. If your window falls on its own, does not stay up, or requires significant force to open, these are classic symptoms of a worn strut caused by gas pressure loss. A faulty strut is not just a major inconvenience, but also a serious safety hazard – a suddenly falling window can cause a severe injury to the operator.

A functional strut eliminates the risk of a heavy window suddenly falling, protecting the operator from injury.
Effortless opening and secure holding of the window allow for comfortable cabin ventilation on warm days.
By choosing an OEM product, you can be sure you are getting a top-quality part that will operate flawlessly for years.
Gas struts should always be replaced in pairs (left and right). This ensures an even distribution of force, prevents stress and cracking of the glass, and guarantees even wear.
The rear window on a backhoe loader is heavy. Perform the replacement with a second person to support the glass and prevent it from falling and shattering.
Before installing the new struts, thoroughly clean the ball studs on the frame and window of any dirt and old grease.
A gas strut should always be installed with the thicker part (the gas cylinder) at the top and the thinner part (the rod) at the bottom. This ensures proper lubrication of the internal seal and significantly extends the strut's life.
Answer: Yes, this is the first sign of wear. In low temperatures, the gas pressure in the strut drops, and a weakened strut is no longer able to hold the window. Soon, the problem will also occur in warmer temperatures.
Question: Can I replace only one strut if the other one still "holds"?Answer: It is highly not recommended. The new strut will be much stronger than the old one, which will cause uneven loading and stress on the glass, risking a crack. The old strut will fail soon anyway.
Question: Why is it worth choosing a STABILUS strut?Answer: Stabilus is the original equipment manufacturer of gas struts for JCB. By choosing this product, you are 100% sure that you are getting a part with the same quality, force, and parameters as the one installed in the factory.
