Tailgate Gas Strut (Left) for BYD Yuan Pro, OE 11800743-00

Because of what is inside it. A gas strut is classed as dangerous goods for transport, and the carriers on our lanes will not move it as ordinary freight. That is a transport rule and it says nothing about the part, which is listed as new. To buy it, use the inquiry form on this page and we will come back with a written quotation for the part together with a compliant route for it. Put 11800743-00 or SC-6309111 in the message, along with a photograph of the old part and its label, so we can confirm it against the OE number.

This is the left strut, and the position is at the rear of the car. Left means the left side as you sit inside facing forward, so it reads the same on any car regardless of where the wheel is fitted. This listing is the left strut on its own. The right-hand one is a separate item under a different OE number. Look at which side of the tailgate your old strut came off before you write to us. The fitment table on this page shows which vehicles the left one fits.

Probably not. This strut is known as 11800743-00 and also as SC-6309111, and both refer to the same left rear item. References on struts are often printed on a paper label that fades with heat and washing, so read yours in good light before you decide it disagrees. Whichever of the two you can make out, include it in your inquiry along with a photograph of the old part and its label. We will check it against the OE number and confirm before any quotation goes out.

Metal is the material for this part. No further detail on the metal is given, so that one word is all we will claim for it. The material is not what makes this an inquiry item. The pressurised contents are, so the quotation route applies whatever the body is built from. Send a photograph of the old part and its label with your inquiry and we will confirm it against the OE number.

The finish for this part is black, and it mounts on the exterior of the car at the rear. No paint code and no colour option are given for 11800743-00, so what is described is what a quotation would name. Nothing about this part suggests any finishing work is expected of you before fitting. If the shade matters where your tailgate is concerned, hold the strut you are removing up against the images on this page. Any question on finish can go in the same inquiry message as the part reference.

There is not. The only version listed here is the Original/Genuine part made by BYD, and there is no Aftermarket option for 11800743-00. So the quotation you receive will name the genuine item and the route it has to travel on, with no second tier to compare it against. If you would rather we searched for another source before you commit, say so in the same inquiry and include the OE number from the old part. We will tell you plainly what we can and cannot find for that car.
