Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is engineered for direct replacement use on the Volvo C30 across the 2007-2013 model years.

If you are searching for a Volvo C30 gas strut, lift support, or replacement hatch support, this part number is the exact reference to verify.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds position
• Slow or uneven opening of the supported panel
• Drooping hatch or lid during service or daily use
• Loss of controlled closing action from a worn gas spring
• Noise or inconsistent movement caused by an aging support strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the extended length, compressed length, force rating, and plastic socket end style before ordering. Compare the existing support on your Volvo C30 to Stabilus 4B-030598 to verify the attachment diameter and overall dimensions match the original unit. For best results, replace gas springs in matched pairs only when the vehicle design calls for it, and support the panel securely before removing the old strut.
