Detailed Description
This gas strut is specified for 2008 Chrysler Town & Country with power liftgate and 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan hatch lift support applications. Stabilus 3B-111379 uses plastic socket attachments at both ends and a 10 mm rod end diameter for the listed fitments. The force rating and dimensional specs are important for maintaining proper liftgate support, opening effort, and closed-position retention on the rear hatch.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn lift support on a Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan, verify the original length, end style, and force rating before installation.
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
- Difficulty opening the power liftgate smoothly
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and liftgate configuration before ordering. Compare the original support’s compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, and socket style to the replacement part. Replace supports in a controlled manner and support the liftgate during service to prevent sudden movement.
