Stabilus 3B-572215 Hood Lift Support
Stabilus Hood Lift Support for Saturn Vue
Restore controlled hood movement with this Stabilus Lift-O-Mat hood lift support, part number 3B-572215. It is engineered for the 2006-2007 Saturn Vue and uses gas-charged damping to deliver smooth opening and a gentle, controlled stop.
Built with ball socket ends, nylon end materials, and application-specific dynamic damping, this hood lift support is tuned for precise motion control. The design uses a velocity manifold in the tube wall to regulate gas flow and extension speed for consistent hood operation on the Saturn Vue.

Before installation, verify the existing support length, end style, and mounting points against the vehicle. Replace supports in pairs when both sides show similar wear, and support the hood securely during removal and installation. Confirm the ball socket connections are fully seated after installation.
