What It Helps Solve

• Worn gas strut performance from age and heat exposure
• Need for a direct replacement hood support on Jaguar XK, XKR, or XKR-S

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket style against the original support before installation. Confirm the mounting points are clean and undamaged, and replace only with the correct application-specific hood lift support for your Jaguar XK, XKR, or XKR-S. Compare the existing strut to Stabilus 3B-3279YW to ensure the rod and tube connection style matches.
