Detailed Description
Stabilus 4B-100181 is a hood lift support engineered for Hyundai Azera applications listed in the fitment data. It uses a 315 N force rating to assist with raising and holding the hood in a stable open position, while the compact compressed length and specified extended length support proper geometry for the hood mounting points. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 81161-3V001 and 81171-3V001 for the same application.
Fits 2017 Hyundai Azera, N/A. Fits 2016 Hyundai Azera, N/A, from 12/04/2015. Use 4B-100181 when replacing a worn hood strut on Hyundai Azera models that no longer stay open, drop too quickly, or require extra effort to lift.
What It Helps Fix
- Hood that will not stay open during inspection or maintenance
- Slow, weak, or uneven hood lift action
- Loss of support caused by gas strut wear over time
- Difficulty accessing the engine bay safely
- Hood movement that feels loose or uncontrolled
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing support’s length, end fittings, and force rating before installation. Match the plastic socket connections to the original mounting points on the Hyundai Azera, and confirm the hood closes smoothly after replacement. If the hood is supported by more than one lift support, inspect the opposite side for wear at the same time.
