This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6780 for the same application.
Compatible With 2011-2017 Nissan Quest, w/o Power Liftgate. Use this Stabilus gas strut when replacing a worn lift support on a Nissan Quest that no longer stays open, drops too quickly, or feels uneven during liftgate operation. The 3B-066004 part number is also referenced in OE-style interchange listings for this application.
What It Is Used For
- Restoring liftgate support when the hatch will not stay open
- Replacing a weak or leaking gas strut on the rear liftgate
- Correcting slow, heavy, or inconsistent liftgate movement
- Reducing strain on hinges and latch components from a failing support
- Addressing liftgate drop on 2011-2017 Nissan Quest models without power liftgate
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing support length, end fittings, and force rating before installation. This unit uses plastic socket connections at both ends, so confirm the mounting studs and socket style match the vehicle. Replace supports in pairs only when the opposite side is also worn, and support the liftgate securely before removing the old strut.
