Detailed Description
Stabilus 4B-294727 is an OE-style lift support engineered for rear hatch and power liftgate use on the Jeep Compass. It fits 2018-2021 Jeep Compass, Hatch Lift Support - Power Liftgate, and 2022-2025 Jeep Compass with Temperature Compensating Valve for increased hold force in cold weather. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The temperature-compensating valve application helps maintain more consistent liftgate hold force in colder conditions, while the gas-charged design supports smooth opening and controlled closing.
What It Helps Solve
- Liftgate that will not stay open
- Rear hatch that drops too quickly
- Weak or inconsistent lift support force
- Cold-weather loss of hold force on equipped Jeep Compass models
- Hard-to-lift or uneven power liftgate operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end connections before installation. Compare the original support to part number 4B-294727 to confirm the correct Jeep Compass application. Replace lift supports in matched condition when the opposite side shows similar wear, and support the hatch or liftgate securely during service.
