Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is specified for 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT and 1991-1996 Dodge Stealth applications. The 1B-8537IF matches the listed dimensions and connection style needed for these vehicles, helping restore consistent lift support for panels that rely on gas-charged strut operation. If you are searching for a Mitsubishi 3000GT lift support or Dodge Stealth gas strut by part number, 1B-8537IF is the direct reference.

What It Helps Address

  • Weak or failing lift support pressure
  • Hatch, hood, or panel drop after opening
  • Uneven or inconsistent opening effort
  • Loss of controlled support at the lift point
  • Noise or rough movement from worn gas spring hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and plastic socket attachment style before installation. Compare the existing support on the vehicle to the 1B-8537IF dimensions to confirm the correct application for your Mitsubishi 3000GT or Dodge Stealth. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before snapping the sockets into place.
