Product Details

Stabilus 4B-125238 is a gas-charged lift support specified for Dodge Journey applications across the 2009-2020 model years. The measured compressed and extended lengths, along with the 8 mm rod and 22 mm tube diameters, provide the dimensional match needed for proper panel travel and support. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Hatch, liftgate, or panel that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent opening support
• Slow or uneven lift action
• Excessive effort needed to raise the supported panel
• Noise or reduced control from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and end fittings before installation. Match the plastic socket connections to the vehicle’s mounting points and confirm the support orientation before removal of the old unit. For best results, replace supports in matched pairs when the vehicle uses two identical lift supports on the same panel.
