Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is engineered around the listed dimensions and attachment style for direct replacement in the confirmed Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Golf R applications. The 10 mm rod, 22 mm tube, and plastic socket ends are important match points when comparing an OE-style lift support or strut replacement. Use the part number 3B-279909 to verify the correct length and force before ordering.

Common Replacement Reasons

  • Liftgate, hatch, or panel no longer stays open
  • Support feels weak, slow, or uneven during opening
  • Original gas spring has lost pressure over time
  • Movement is abrupt instead of controlled
  • Existing support shows wear at the socket ends

Installation Notes

Confirm the extended length, compressed length, force rating, and socket style against the original unit before installation. Match the mounting orientation and attachment diameter carefully, since gas springs are sensitive to dimensional differences. For Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Golf R fitment, verify the vehicle build details and compare the original part number 3CN827550B or 279909 when checking replacement compatibility.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier for gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to the listed specifications for consistent fit and function in the confirmed applications.
