Gas Strut Re-Gassing

Re-gassing a gas strut can be a cost-effective solution for restoring pressure to existing gas struts. Gas struts can deteriorate with time and heavy wear. If your strut was originally purchased from us, we offer free re-gassing within the 2-year or 20,000-cycle warranty period. Once you’ve sent your gas strut to us, we’ll re-gas and return it with only return shipping costs applied.

Where Can I Re-Gas My Gas Strut?

You have a couple of options when it comes to re-gassing a strut.

Re-Gassing at Our Office

If you bought your gas strut from us and it’s still under warranty, simply bring it to our Laverton office, and we’ll re-gas it for free.

Mail-In Re-Gassing Service

Alternatively, you can mail your gas strut to us, and we’ll re-gas then return it. You’ll need to cover the shipping costs, so buying a new gas strut from our online store may be more cost-effective.

Re-Gassing for Struts Purchased Elsewhere

If your strut was purchased elsewhere, we can still re-gas it for a fee.

Buying Gas Struts Online

If your gas strut is beyond repair or you cant physically bring it in, buying a new one from our online store may be more convenient and cost-effective. A new gas strut comes a renewed 2-year or 20,000-cycle warranty, ensuring long-lasting performance. Browse our full range of gas struts today for a hassle-free replacement with doorstep delivery.

Is It Better To Re-Gas My Gas Strut Or Buy A New Strut?

Whether to re-gas or replace depends largely on the condition of your gas strut and its expected future performance.

When Re-Gassing Is Recommended

Re-gassing is usually a cost-effective option if the strut is in good physical condition but has simply lost pressure.

When Buying a New Strut Is Recommended

If the gas strut shows signs of physical damage like bent rods, leaking fluid, or worn seals, or if it’s a lower quality strut prone to frequent failures, buying a new strut is generally a better choice for long-term reliability.

How Long Do Gas Struts Typically Last?

The lifespan of a gas strut can vary depending on several factors, including quality, usage, and maintenance.

Typical Lifespan of Gas Struts

The lifespan of a gas strut varies depending on its usage, quality, and maintenance. On average, gas struts can last anywhere between 3 to 5 years under normal conditions. Due to their high quality manufacture, gas struts purchased from Struts Australia have been known to last up to 10 years.

Factors Affecting Longevity

Factors like the frequency of use, the quality of the gas strut, and exposure to harsh conditions can impact their longevity. Automotive gas struts that experience frequent use or marine gas struts exposed to corrosive saltwater environments may need attention sooner.

Maintaining Optimal Performance

Regular inspections can help identify when a strut is beginning to fail, allowing for timely re-gassing or replacement to maintain optimal performance.

The Difference Buying Quality Gas Struts

Investing in high-quality gas struts can make a significant difference in performance, reliability, and overall lifespan.
