Product Details

Use the Stabilus 4B-5336XP when replacing a worn gas strut on supported Volkswagen models. The specified compressed and extended lengths, along with the plastic socket connections, are important for matching the original mounting geometry and lift characteristics. For Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen Golf, and Volkswagen R32 applications, this gas spring helps restore consistent panel support and controlled movement.

What It Helps Address

  • Weak or failing lift support on rear hatch or panel applications
  • Drooping panels that no longer stay open reliably
  • Uneven or inconsistent opening effort
  • Noise or rough movement from a worn gas strut
  • Incorrect replacement length or end fitting match

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and 10 mm plastic socket attachment style before installation. Compare the original strut to the 4B-5336XP to confirm mounting fit and travel. Replace only with the correct application-specific gas spring for the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed specifications for the confirmed Volkswagen applications.
