Before installation, compare the original strut’s compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and end fittings to this Stabilus unit. Confirm that the 10 mm attachment diameters and plastic socket connections match the vehicle’s mounting points, and replace only with the correct force rating to preserve proper lift and hold behavior.

For vehicle searches, verify the original equipment on the specific make and model before ordering. This is especially important when looking for a Stabilus 3B-628571 replacement for a hatch, hood, or compartment support on a vehicle such as a Honda Civic or similar application.
