Product Description
Stabilus 4B-025323 is a vehicle-specific gas strut engineered to support the opening and closing motion of the rear liftgate on select Volkswagen Passat wagons. The measured stroke, body size, and plastic socket end fittings are important for maintaining correct lift support and alignment, especially on applications where the original strut length and force rating must match closely. If you are replacing a worn Volkswagen Passat liftgate strut, this Stabilus unit provides the dimensional and force specifications needed for a proper service replacement.
What It Helps Fix
- Liftgate that drops too quickly
- Rear hatch that will not stay open
- Weak or uneven hatch support
- Noisy or worn gas strut operation
- Incorrect replacement length or end fitting match
Installation Notes
Verify the existing strut length, force rating, and socket-style end connections before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year, model, and wagon configuration, since this part is listed for 2007-2008 Volkswagen Passat and 2009-2010 Volkswagen Passat Wagon, Exc. Cold Spec. Compare the original part number 4B-025323 and the mounting style to ensure proper fitment on your Volkswagen Passat.
