Detailed Description

Stabilus 3A-408250 is a POWERISE liftgate lift support engineered as a replacement for factory-style power liftgate systems. It is built for select 2018-2025 Audi Q5, 2020-2025 Audi Q5 PHEV, 2021-2025 Audi Q5 Sportback, and 2018-2025 Audi SQ5 applications, making it a direct-fit solution for vehicles that rely on automated rear liftgate movement. The electro-mechanical design, ball socket ends, and application-specific connector layout are intended to match the original system architecture for consistent operation.

This part cross-references TYC 620020 for the same application. The Stabilus 3A-408250 is a practical replacement when the original power liftgate support no longer opens, closes, or holds position correctly on Audi Q5 and related models.

What It Helps Fix

• Liftgate that no longer opens or closes automatically
• Slow, uneven, or inconsistent power liftgate movement
• Liftgate that stops before reaching the desired opening height
• Loss of smooth operation in the rear hatch system
• Faulty or worn electro-mechanical lift support performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and power liftgate configuration before installation. This part uses ball socket ends and an application-specific connector, so inspect the original mounting points and electrical connection style before removal. The included wiring harness and instructions can help guide the replacement, but proper alignment and secure connection at both ends are important for correct liftgate operation. Confirm that the liftgate opens and closes smoothly after installation and that the opening height is set as desired.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus manufactures POWERISE components to the same design standards and durability expectations used for factory-installed power liftgate systems. The 3A-408250 is engineered for dependable operation in supported Audi applications, including 2018-2025 Audi Q5, 2020-2025 Audi Q5 PHEV, 2021-2025 Audi Q5 Sportback, and 2018-2025 Audi SQ5 models.
