Product Description

Stabilus 3B-104209 is specified for rear liftgate service where controlled lift and secure hold-open performance matter. The 765 N force rating, 26.299-inch extended length, and 18.701-inch compressed length make it a direct-spec replacement for vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, including the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, and Ram C/V. The plastic socket ends and 10 mm attachment diameter support a straightforward OE-style connection layout.

What It Helps Address

• Liftgate that will not stay open
• Rear hatch that drops too quickly
• Weak or uneven lift support action
• Noise or binding from a worn gas strut
• Loss of controlled power liftgate movement

Installation Notes

Verify the existing support’s extended length, compressed length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Match the vehicle application and power liftgate configuration exactly, especially on 2009-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2009-2016 Chrysler Town & Country, and 2012-2015 Ram C/V models. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage and confirm the liftgate opens and closes smoothly after replacement.
