Nissan vehicles, like many other automakers, use gas struts (or gas springs) for various applications, including hoods, trunks, tailgates, and even windows. Gas struts are used in these parts to assist with opening and closing, providing controlled motion and helping to hold the components in place.
Hood Struts: Gas struts are used to lift and support the hood, making it easier to open and close. These struts are especially useful for heavier hoods, providing a smooth, controlled action.
Trunk/Tailgate Struts: In some Nissan models, gas struts are used for the trunk or tailgate to provide lifting support and hold the door open.
Window Struts: Certain Nissan vehicles might also use gas struts for windows, particularly in models with large, heavy side windows or sunroofs.
