Detailed Product Overview

The Stabilus 4B-170201 gas strut is engineered to match the original support geometry used on the Mini Cooper Paceman. Its measured extended and compressed lengths, along with the 10 mm end attachment diameter and plastic socket ends, make it a practical replacement for worn lift supports that no longer hold position or open smoothly. This part cross-references Tuff Support 612658 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Rear or liftgate support that no longer stays open
• Slow, weak, or uneven opening action
• Loss of holding force in the original gas spring
• Noise or instability caused by a worn strut
• Incorrect support height from a fatigued OE unit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end fittings against the original part before installation. Confirm the mounting orientation and make sure the attachment points are clean and free of damage so the plastic sockets seat correctly. Compare the removed strut to Stabilus 4B-170201 to confirm force rating and dimensions before final installation.
