Fitment questions

Does the Vauxhall Antara actually have bonnet struts?

Yes, the Vauxhall Antara uses gas-charged bonnet struts (also called bonnet supports or bonnet stay struts) to hold the bonnet open - it does not use a traditional prop rod. This applies across all engine and drivetrain variants of the Antara, so whether you have a diesel or petrol, two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, you will have these struts fitted.

Will a bonnet strut from a 2007-2010 Antara fit my 2011-2015 Antara?

The Vauxhall Antara ran from 2006 to 2015 as a single generation, but received a facelift in 2011 that brought changes to the front end including the bonnet, grille and lights. Because the bonnet itself may differ between the pre-facelift (2006-2010) and facelifted (2011-2015) models, the strut geometry and mounting points could also differ, so you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific strut crosses that facelift boundary before purchasing.

Does it matter whether my Antara is an Exclusiv, SE or Elite when buying a bonnet strut?

No, trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the Antara - the struts are the same across Exclusiv, SE, Elite and all other trim grades. What matters is whether your car is a pre-facelift (2006-2010) or facelifted (2011-2015) model, so focus on the year rather than the badge when asking a breaker for a quote.

Will an Antara bonnet strut from a diesel fit my petrol model, or vice versa?

Yes - engine type makes no difference to bonnet strut fitment on the Antara. The struts attach to the bonnet and inner wing regardless of what is sitting under the bonnet, so a strut from a 2.0 CDTi diesel car will be the same part as one from a 2.4 petrol car of the same year range.

I need a bonnet strut for a 2009 Antara - which year breakers cars should I be looking at?

A 2009 Antara is a pre-facelift model, so you should ideally ask breakers for struts from cars built between 2006 and 2010. Parts from a facelifted 2011-2015 Antara may or may not interchange, so always confirm with the breaker by giving them your registration number before committing to buy.

Is the bonnet strut the same on both sides of my Antara, or do I need a nearside and an offside?

Most Antara bonnets use two struts that are typically mirror images of each other, meaning the NS (nearside, kerb side) and OS (offside, driver's side) struts are handed parts. When sourcing from a breaker, it is worth checking whether they can supply a matched pair from the same donor vehicle, and confirm which side you need so you get the correct one for your fitment.
