What It Does

• Replaces a weak or failing hood support that no longer holds the hood open properly
• Restores smoother hood lift and controlled lowering on Mercedes-Benz G-Class models
• Addresses hood drop, uneven support, or reduced opening assistance
• Supports service access for routine maintenance under the hood
• Matches applications that require the 809 mm length and 280 N force rating

Installation Notes

Verify the existing support length, end fittings, and force rating before installation. This Stabilus 2B-7835BD uses plastic socket with ball stud connections at both ends, so the mounting points must match the vehicle’s hood and body brackets. Compare the compressed and extended lengths to the original support to confirm proper geometry on Mercedes-Benz G550, G63 AMG, G65 AMG, G500, and G55 AMG models.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier for gas-charged lift supports, and this hood lift support is built to match the specified application dimensions and force rating for consistent operation.
