Thread: D3 Bonnet Strut Failure?

I have also just had the total failure of 1 strut.
Replaced both with genuine LR parts, they weren't expensive (about $40 each).

350NM if you want to source replacements elsewhere.

The remaining original strut seems to still have the full 350NM available, I can't compress it by hand without the leverage and weight of the bonnet.

I asked about purchasing just one strut based on one existing strut is probably still OK.

The feeling was that the struts should be replaced in pairs as the old unreplaced strut will continue to slowly lose pressure but as the single new good one will initially adequately hold the bonnet up, the unseen twisting forces on the bonnet will lead to eventual future concerns.
