Detailed Description
This Stabilus gas spring is engineered around the listed dimensions and connection style to match the original lift support geometry used on select Volkswagen models. The 4B-033844 part number is associated with 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2010-2014 Volkswagen GTI, and 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R fitments, making it a focused replacement for vehicles that require the same length, force, and socket attachment configuration.

What It Helps Address
- Weak or failing lift support performance
- Hatch, hood, or panel that no longer stays open properly

- Noise or instability caused by worn support hardware interfaces
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and plastic socket connection style before installation. Compare the existing support to the 4B-033844 dimensions to confirm proper fit on your Volkswagen Golf, GTI, or Golf R application. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before snapping the sockets into place.
