Detailed Product Description
This Stabilus gas spring is specified for right-side use on the 2008-2009 Chevrolet Equinox and 2008-2009 Pontiac Torrent. The 3B-132650 uses plastic socket attachments on both the rod and tube ends, along with a 10 mm rod and 22 mm tube, which helps match the original mounting geometry for the listed vehicles. If you are searching for a right lift support for Chevrolet Equinox or Pontiac Torrent models, 3B-132650 provides the dimensional and force specifications needed for a proper replacement.
What It Helps Address
- Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds position
- Hatch, liftgate, or panel movement that feels heavy or uncontrolled
- Loss of support force in the right-side gas strut
- Mismatch in compressed or extended length during replacement
- Mounting issues caused by incorrect end fittings
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, force rating, and end connection style before ordering. Confirm right-side placement on the vehicle and compare the OE mounting points on the Chevrolet Equinox or Pontiac Torrent to the plastic socket ends on this unit. Replace only with the correct side and dimensions to maintain proper lift and hold characteristics.
