Bilstein TC struts V70-XC70 1998

Most gas charged struts have the hold down locking piece you describe. When you take it loose the piston will rise to full extension. Thus, among other things the strap cuts the packaging in half and keeps the piston tucked safely in the strut tube during handling. Yes, it has to go at some point.
