Fitment and Application Details

This Stabilus 3B-238084 gas strut is matched to the Nissan 240SX platform from 1989 through 1994. The listed dimensions and 90 lb force rating help ensure the strut opens and supports the panel with the correct travel and resistance for the application. This part cross-references Dorman - First Stop C95799 for the same application.

What This Gas Strut Helps Solve

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds a panel open
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled opening motion
• Drooping hood, hatch, or access panel support
• Loss of lift assistance caused by worn internal gas pressure
• Replacement needs for a Nissan 240SX gas spring with OE-style dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the extended length, compressed length, and end fitting style before installation. Compare the existing strut’s mounting points and orientation to the plastic socket connections on this part, and confirm the 10 mm attachment diameter matches the vehicle hardware. Replace one side at a time only if the application calls for a single support; otherwise, match the vehicle’s original configuration.

Quality Assurance
