Hydraulic Gas Strut for the swing away spare wheel carrier assembly on the Discovery 3, providing assisted opening and controlled closing of the carrier frame.

The gas-charged strut installs between the carrier structure and the rear body mounting points, reducing the manual effort required to swing the carrier open and applying controlled resistance during closing. This maintains stable carrier positioning when open and prevents the carrier from swinging uncontrolled under the weight of the mounted spare wheel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the hydraulic strut for the spare wheel carrier?
The hydraulic gas strut assists the swing-away spare wheel carrier on the Discovery 3 and Discovery 4. It fits between the carrier frame and the rear body mounting, reducing the effort to swing the carrier open and controlling its closing so the mounted spare wheel doesn't let the carrier swing uncontrolled.
Does this strut fit the Terrafirma spare wheel carrier?
Yes, this is the Terrafirma replacement gas strut for the swing-away spare wheel carrier fitted to the Discovery 3 and Discovery 4. It's the wear part that assists carrier movement. Fitment data for this strut is limited, so confirm it matches your existing carrier before ordering.
How many struts does the carrier use?
The swing-away spare wheel carrier typically uses one gas strut to assist opening and closing. If your carrier has lost its assisted movement or won't hold open under the spare wheel's weight, the single strut is usually the part that needs replacing.
