Detailed Description

Stabilus 4B-3347XU is a direct-fit gas spring for select Honda Civic applications from 2002 through 2005.

What This Part Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support on a Honda Civic panel or hatch
• Drooping or unsupported opening during service or daily use
• Uneven opening effort caused by worn gas spring pressure
• Reduced holding force when the original support no longer stays extended

Verify the existing gas spring length, end fittings, and force rating before installation. Match the plastic socket connection style and confirm the mounting points on the vehicle before removing the old unit. Compare the original part number and dimensions to 4B-3347XU to ensure the replacement matches the application on your Honda Civic.
