Description
Is the trunk lid on your Bentley Arnage or Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph no longer staying open on its own, or not popping open automatically when the release is pressed? This is the classic sign of worn trunk struts — and part number PR55888PA is the correct replacement gas strut for Bentley Arnage models from 2000 onwards (VIN 04001+), Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph, Silver Seraph LoL and Park Ward.
This listing is for a pair of two struts. These models require four struts in total per car, fitted within the boot lid hinge mechanism. Because all four degrade at the same rate, it is strongly recommended to replace all four at the same time — two pairs in total — to ensure even, reliable boot lid operation.
PR55888PA is the original part number, now superseded by PR55888PB, which is the current equivalent. Both numbers refer to the same application.
Important fitment note: This strut is for Arnage models from VIN 04001 onwards — the 2000 model year and later. For earlier 1998–1999 Arnage and Seraph models prior to VIN 04000, the correct strut is PR24234PE, which is a different part. Please verify your VIN before ordering.
Signs your trunk struts need replacing: Boot lid drops or falls when propped open, trunk does not pop open automatically when released, lid feels heavy or unassisted when lifting, strut feels loose or offers no resistance when compressed.
Fitment: Bentley Arnage Green Label, Red Label, Le Mans, R, T, RL — from 2000 (VIN 04001 onwards), Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph — from 2000 (VIN 04006 onwards), Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph LoL — from 2001, Rolls-Royce Park Ward — 2000 to 2002.
