Detailed Description
Stabilus 4B-140534 is built for rear liftgate support where consistent opening force and controlled closing matter.

Common Replacement Reasons

- Rear hatch will not stay raised
- Weak or uneven opening support
- Noise or binding during liftgate movement
- Loss of gas pressure in the original strut
Installation Notes
