Fitment and Application Details
Stabilus 3B-165550 is a direct-fit gas spring for the left-side DX application on the 1996-2000 Honda Civic. The specified compressed and extended lengths, along with the 290 N force rating, support consistent movement and secure positioning when the original support has weakened or lost pressure. This part cross-references Dorman First Stop C95180 for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Addresses
- Hood or liftgate drops instead of staying open
- Slow, uneven, or weak opening action
- Original support no longer holds pressure
- Excessive effort needed to raise the panel
- Noise or instability from a worn gas spring
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the left-side mounting points and compare the compressed length, extended length, and end fittings before installation. Replace the support with the panel fully secured, and inspect the mounting brackets or sockets for wear so the new Stabilus 3B-165550 can seat correctly. For Honda Civic hood support replacement or left-side lift support service, verify the DX trim and model years listed in the fitment data.
