Detailed Description
Stabilus 2B-2604MJ is a hood lift support engineered for vehicles that rely on a gas-charged strut to raise and hold the hood in place. The measured extended and compressed lengths, along with the 115 N force rating, are important for maintaining proper hood support and consistent opening effort. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. It is a direct replacement choice for 1995-1996 Buick Riviera, 1998-1999 Cadillac Seville, 1995-1996 Oldsmobile Aurora, and 1999 Buick Riviera and 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora hood support service.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Hood drops after being opened
- Weak or inconsistent hood hold-up force
- Hood that no longer stays open during service
- Slow or uneven hood lift action
- Replacement for worn gas struts on select Buick, Cadillac, and Oldsmobile models
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket style before installation. Compare the existing support to 2B-2604MJ to confirm the rod and tube connection style matches your vehicle. For best results, replace supports in pairs when both sides show similar wear, and support the hood securely before removing the old strut.
