The part is built to the following specification: Length [mm]: 545 mm, Stroke [mm]: 225 mm, Extention Force [N]: 310 N. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. Compatible with AUSTIN vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. This part supersedes original equipment references: 043850, 128182, 163, 2019693 and 12 more.
