Detailed Description

Stabilus 3B-254336 is an OE-style gas spring engineered for the Acura MDX lift support application. The measured dimensions, 8 mm rod diameter, 22 mm tube diameter, and 500 N force rating help ensure the support opens and holds the panel with the correct balance of lift and control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Fits 2001-2006 Acura MDX, N/A. If you are searching for a 2001 Acura MDX lift support, a 2006 Acura MDX hatch support, or a Stabilus 3B-254336 replacement gas strut, this part matches the listed vehicle range and connection style.

What It Helps Solve

  • Rear hatch or liftgate that will not stay open
  • Slow or weak panel lift action
  • Drooping support that makes access difficult
  • Uneven opening force from a worn gas strut
  • Noise or instability from a fatigued support

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, extended length, and socket style against the original support before installation. Confirm the mounting points are clean and undamaged, and compare the old strut’s orientation and end fittings to the replacement part. For best results, replace supports in matched condition when the vehicle uses paired lift supports.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed application specifications for the Acura MDX. Part number 3B-254336 should be verified against the vehicle’s original support dimensions and fitment before installation.
