Product Overview

The Stabilus Lift-O-Mat liftgate lift support is an application-specific gas strut engineered for controlled motion and a smooth, gentle stop. Part number 3B-832496 uses dynamic damping technology to regulate extension speed for refined liftgate operation.

Compatible With 2020-2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, w/o power liftgate. This OE-style lift support is built with ball socket ends, nylon end materials, and a gas-charged design tuned for precise movement.

Key Features

  • Dynamic damping technology for controlled liftgate motion
  • Gas-charged construction with application-specific tuning
  • Ball socket ends for direct-fit style attachment
  • Nylon end materials for durable connection points
  • Compressed length of 16.34 in. and extended length of 24.09 in.
  • Maximum force rating of 147 N for balanced support

Detailed Description

Stabilus 3B-832496 is part of the Lift-O-Mat line, which uses a velocity manifold groove in the tube wall to manage gas flow around the piston. That design creates progressive damping, helping the liftgate move with consistent resistance and a controlled final stop. For Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport applications without a power liftgate, this lift support matches the specified fitment and mounting style.

The Lift-O-Mat product line is known for OE-oriented motion control across automotive applications. This part cross-references Volkswagen part numbers 3CM 827 550 A and 3CM 827 550 C for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Solve

  • Liftgate that drops too quickly
  • Liftgate that will not stay open
  • Uneven or inconsistent liftgate movement
  • Weak support during opening and closing
  • Harsh final stop at the end of travel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle configuration before ordering: this part fits Atlas Cross Sport models without a power liftgate. Confirm the compressed length, extended length, and ball socket end style against the original support before installation.

Mounting hardware is not listed as included, so compare the existing attachment points and reuse or replace related components as needed based on the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus Lift-O-Mat products are engineered for OE-level motion control and refined damping performance. Part number 3B-832496 is built to deliver application-specific operation for the listed fitment.
