Loro 101-00-031 Boot Gas Spring

If you’re shopping for a Loro 101-00-031 boot / cargo area gas spring (strut), you’re looking at a direct-fit replacement part designed for both sides. This boot / cargo area gas spring (strut) holds the boot lid, trunk lid, or tailgate open under its own pressure, so it stays up on its own instead of dropping or requiring you to prop it. A tired gas spring is one of those problems that gets more annoying every week — until you’re holding a bonnet or boot lid up with one hand while working with the other. Add this Loro boot gas spring to your cart and get that panel holding itself open again.

## Why This Boot Gas Spring Matters

Gas springs are a small, inexpensive part that does one very specific job — but when that job stops happening, it’s immediately obvious and mildly dangerous, since a heavy panel that won’t stay open can drop on you while you’re underneath it. Here’s what this Loro 101-00-031 brings to the job:

– **Direct-fit replacement** — manufactured to match the length, stroke, and mounting of the original component for both sides
– **Restores hands-free operation** — a fresh gas spring holds the panel open reliably instead of sinking or falling shut
– **Consistent extension force** — engineered to the correct pressure rating so the panel doesn’t slam or feel too stiff
– **Simple, tool-light installation** — most gas springs pop on and off their mounting ball-studs without special tools
– **Backed by Loro** — an aftermarket brand supplying gas springs, window regulators, and other body hardware replacement parts

Replacing a worn gas spring is a cheap fix for a problem that otherwise turns every trip to the trunk or under the hood into a two-handed job.

## Specifications & Technical Details

This listing is for **Loro part number 101-00-031**, categorized by the manufacturer as a boot / cargo area gas spring (strut) for the **both sides**. Key specifications as provided by Loro:

| Attribute | Value |
|—|—|
| Length [mm] | 500 |
| Stroke [mm] | 200 |
| Extention Force [N] | 280 |

Gas spring length, stroke, and extension force all need to match your vehicle closely — a spring that’s too strong can make the panel slam open, while one that’s too weak won’t hold it up at all. Always confirm fitment against your vehicle’s VIN or your current part’s number before ordering.

## Use Cases & Applications

This boot / cargo area gas spring (strut) is most commonly replaced during:

– **Sagging panel repair** — a bonnet, boot lid, or tailgate that slowly sinks instead of staying open
– **Full failure repair** — a panel that falls shut on its own and needs to be propped manually
– **Pairs replacement** — replacing the second side proactively after the first has already failed
– **Preventive maintenance on older vehicles** — gas springs lose pressure gradually with age and heat cycling, so many owners replace them as a pair once one side starts to go

This part is relevant to drivers anywhere in the country, since gas spring wear is driven mainly by age, heat cycling, and usage rather than climate alone. We ship this boot gas spring to all 50 states.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is this Loro 101-00-031 compatible with my vehicle?

Fitment for gas springs is specific to make, model, and the exact panel (bonnet, boot lid, tailgate, or rear windscreen) it supports — length and extension force both vary. We recommend checking your vehicle’s details against the EAN/part number listed on this page, or contacting our team at [Contact Us](https://cgautopartsshop.com/contact-us/) before ordering if you’re not sure.

### Do I need to replace gas springs in pairs?

Most boot lids, tailgates, and bonnets use two gas springs (one per side), and most installers replace both at the same time even if only one has failed, since the other is usually close behind and mismatched springs can cause the panel to sit or open unevenly. Some applications only use a single spring — check the fitting position and quantity for your vehicle.

### What’s included with this boot gas spring?

This listing includes the boot / cargo area gas spring (strut) itself as supplied by Loro, part number 101-00-031. Check the specifications listed above for the exact stroke and extension force for this specific part; mounting hardware and ball studs are sometimes reused from the original part rather than included.

### How long does shipping take?

Orders ship from our US warehouse network to all 50 states. Typical delivery is 3-7 business days depending on your location; expedited options are available at checkout. Full details are on our [Shipping Policy](https://cgautopartsshop.com/shipping-policy/) page.

### What’s your return policy on gas springs?

We accept returns on unused, uninstalled parts in original packaging within the window described on our [Terms of Service](https://cgautopartsshop.com/terms-of-service/) page.

### Is Loro a reliable brand for this type of part?

Loro is an aftermarket brand supplying gas springs, window regulators, and other body hardware replacement parts. As with any aftermarket supplier, we recommend matching the exact part number and EAN to your vehicle’s requirements rather than relying on brand name alone.

### Can I install this myself, or do I need a mechanic?

Replacing a gas spring is one of the easier DIY jobs on most vehicles — it typically involves popping the ball-socket ends off their mounting studs and clipping the new one on, with no special tools required. The main thing to watch for is supporting the panel while the old strut is off, since it will no longer hold itself up.

### What signs indicate my old boot gas spring needs replacing?

The clearest sign is the panel not staying open on its own — it sinks slowly, drifts down, or falls shut, sometimes even hitting you on the head while you’re working underneath. Visible oil residue leaking from the strut body is another common sign of failure.

### Does this part come with a warranty?

Manufacturer warranty terms vary by brand. Please see our [Warranty Policy](https://cgautopartsshop.com/warranty-policy/) page for full details, and keep your order confirmation as proof of purchase.
