Developed by Stabilus, a recognised leader in gas spring and damper technology, this electric tailgate strut integrates an internal motor and damping system to manage tailgate movement precisely and safely.

What the Electric Tailgate Damper Does

This powered damper:

• Assists opening and closing of the rear tailgate
• Provides smooth, controlled movement throughout the lift cycle
  
• Maintains tailgate position once fully open
  
• Works with the vehicle’s comfort electronics for hands-free operation
  
• Reduces strain on hinges and tailgate mechanisms

It is essential for correct powered tailgate functionality on the 958 Cayenne.

Why Electric Tailgate Dampers Fail

Common causes of failure include:

• Internal motor wear over time
  
• Loss of damping efficiency, causing jerky movement
  
• Electrical faults within the actuator
  
• Exposure to moisture and temperature changes
• Age-related component fatigue

Symptoms may include slow operation, incomplete opening, warning messages, or the tailgate failing to lift or stay open.

Why the Tailgate Damper Should Be Replaced

Replacing a worn electric tailgate damper restores:

• Full powered tailgate functionality
• Smooth, quiet and controlled operation
• Safe opening and closing behaviour
• Correct interaction with vehicle electronics
• Everyday convenience and usability

Timely replacement prevents further strain on the tailgate system and avoids secondary component damage.
