Fitment and Application

Compatible with 2016-2020 Kia Sorento liftgate applications, this Stabilus 4B-259833 lift support is sized to match the listed compressed and extended lengths while delivering 670 N of force. It is a practical OE replacement for Sorento owners looking for consistent liftgate support and controlled motion. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 7012 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

  • Liftgate that will not stay open
  • Weak or slow rear hatch movement
  • Uneven or inconsistent liftgate support
  • Loss of holding force from worn gas struts
  • Hard-to-lift rear hatch operation

Installation Notes

Verify the existing support’s extended length, compressed length, and socket style before installation. Match the rod and tube connection points to the vehicle mounting hardware, and replace supports in pairs when both sides show similar wear. Confirm the liftgate opens and closes smoothly after installation on the Kia Sorento.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this 4B-259833 part is built to OE-style dimensional and force specifications for the listed Kia Sorento applications.
