Detailed Product Description

The Stabilus 2B-835805 hood lift support is engineered to provide consistent force and durability for the Saab 9-5 hood. With a compressed length of 16.811 inches and an extended length of 30.039 inches, this gas spring offers the necessary range of motion to safely lift and hold the hood open.

Both the rod and shaft connections utilize plastic sockets, which help reduce wear and provide secure attachment points.
