Detailed Description
Stabilus 4B-018329 is a gas spring engineered to provide consistent support and controlled opening and closing action for the specified Mitsubishi Outlander application. The unit measures 18.622 inches extended and 11.634 inches compressed, with a 540 N force rating that helps maintain proper lift assistance and holding power. Its 8 mm rod and 19 mm tube dimensions, along with plastic socket end fittings, make it a precise replacement for the original support strut used on 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander vehicles. This part number 4B-018329 is also referenced in aftermarket catalogs for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds position
- Slow or uneven opening of a supported panel
- Drooping hatch, hood, or access panel movement
- Loss of original lift-assist force on a Mitsubishi Outlander
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing strut length, end fittings, and force rating before installation. Match the plastic socket connections to the original mounting points on the vehicle, and confirm that the replacement is installed in the same orientation as the removed unit. For best results, replace worn supports in pairs when the vehicle uses matched lift-assist components, and test the panel movement after installation to confirm smooth operation.
