URO 996-512-551-05 Decklid Lift Support Strut

The URO 996-512-551-05 is a hydraulic decklid lift support strut designed to assist in opening and holding the rear decklid (trunk lid) in the raised position. This replacement gas strut provides smooth, controlled operation when accessing the rear storage compartment, eliminating the need to manually prop open the decklid.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for worn or failed factory decklid struts
• Hydraulic gas-charged design provides consistent lifting force
• Engineered to match OEM specifications for proper fit and function
• Sold individually - most applications require two struts (one per side)
• Restores proper decklid operation and safety

When decklid struts wear out, the trunk lid may fall unexpectedly, become difficult to open, or fail to stay raised. This replacement strut restores safe and convenient operation. This part is commonly used on Porsche 996 and related models.
