Fitment Details

Fits 1991-1995 Acura Legend, N/A. This Stabilus 3B-4521YJ hood lift support matches the listed Acura Legend application and is a direct-fit replacement for the hood support on those model years.

Cross-reference part numbers for the same application include Dorman - First Stop C95552 and Tuff Support 611493.

What It Helps Fix

  • Weak hood support that no longer holds the hood open securely
  • Slow or uneven hood lift action
  • Hood drop during engine-bay access
  • Loss of proper opening resistance from a worn gas strut
  • Noise or instability caused by a failing hood lift support

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and end fittings against the original support before installation. Confirm the metal blade and plastic socket connections align with the vehicle mounting points on the Acura Legend. Replace worn mounting points or damaged retainers as needed so the hood opens and closes smoothly.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed application dimensions and force rating for consistent hood support.
