Actuator Purpose and Function

The right-side tailgate actuator is responsible for the stable guidance and support of the tailgate at the rear of the vehicle. A correctly selected part guarantees:

• controlled opening and closing of the tailgate without jerking,
• holding the tailgate in the set position during loading,
• reducing the load on hinges and other mounting elements.

Thanks to its dedicated placement in the rear – right side zone, the actuator works with the Mercedes X164 body structure, maintaining the factory tailgate operation geometry.

Compatibility and Identification Parameters

The offered actuator is a part intended for Mercedes vehicles, manufactured according to the producer's requirements for this body generation. Part identification is done through:

• the OEM part number designation,
• available interchangeable numbers,
• the SKU warehouse code,
• precise determination of the placement on the vehicle.

This set of parameters allows for verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration and reduces the risk of selecting the wrong part.

Usage Characteristics and Installation

The actuator operating in the rear, right side of the body is a wear part that gradually loses its properties over time. Replacement with a functional component restores:

• correct support force for the tailgate,
• ease of operation for daily opening and closing,
• reduction of loads acting on hinges and locks.

The part comes from the Gas Springs, Locks, Hinges, and Other Parts group, making it structurally adapted to work with factory mounting points. Installation, following service procedures, does not require body modifications.

Part Condition and Benefits of Use

The product is offered as a used part, allowing for economical repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Choosing this solution provides:

• the possibility of restoring full tailgate functionality at a lower cost than a new part,
• maintaining structural consistency with other components of the rear body section,
• reducing waste through the reuse of functional sub-assemblies.
