Stabilus 4B-011508 Hatch Lift Support

OE-Style Gas Strut for Hyundai and Kia Applications

This Stabilus gas strut is built for controlled lift support and consistent holding force in automotive hatch, liftgate, or hood applications. With a 540 N (121 lb) force rating, 16.161 in extended length, and 9.980 in compressed length, it is a direct-fit replacement for select Hyundai Ioniq and Kia Sportage applications.
