Detailed Description
This Stabilus gas spring is specified for 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6 models with spoiler. The 4B-108068 uses a 31 lb force rating to provide measured support for liftgate, hatch, or spoiler-related applications that require controlled movement and stable hold-open performance. Its compact body dimensions and plastic socket ends make it a practical OE-style replacement for vehicles that use this mounting style. If you are searching for a Mazda MX-6 gas strut, hatch support, or spoiler support replacement, 4B-108068 is the part number to verify against your original unit.
This part cross-references AMS Automotive 4639 and Focus Auto Parts 84639 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, lid, or spoiler-mounted support point
- Loss of controlled closing and opening motion
- Replacement needs for worn OE-style gas struts on Mazda MX-6 models
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the original strut length, force rating, and end fittings before installation. Confirm that the vehicle is a 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6 with spoiler and compare the mounting style to the plastic socket connections on this unit. Replace only with the correct side and application match from the original part number and mounting geometry.
