Fitment Details
Compatible with 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX liftgate applications. Fits 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX, N/A, including power and non-power liftgate configurations.
The Stabilus 4B-331259 is a direct-fit gas spring for liftgate support where consistent opening and closing force is needed. Its measured compressed and extended lengths, along with the 10 mm rod and 22 mm tube dimensions, help match the original support geometry on the Lincoln MKX. This part cross-references Tuff Support 611686 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Liftgate that drops too quickly
- Weak or inconsistent liftgate support
- Difficulty holding the rear hatch open
- Reduced opening assistance from worn gas struts
- Noise or uneven movement from aging liftgate supports
Installation Notes
Verify the compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the original strut to the Stabilus 4B-331259 to confirm the 10 mm rod connection and 22 mm tube connection match the vehicle mounting points. Replace only with the liftgate fully supported and follow the vehicle service procedure for safe removal and installation.
