That design helps the support extend with application-specific damping and finish the stroke with a controlled stop. The result is refined hood operation that aligns with OE-style motion control expectations. This part number, 4B-600184, is listed for 2021-2023 Tesla S applications and is also referenced under 586559, 600184, 875984, 981632, 1586548-00-C, and 158654800C for the same application. For Tesla S hood support replacement, 4B-600184 provides a precise gas strut solution with ball socket ends and nylon end materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues It Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHood that drops too quickly when opened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeak lift support that no longer holds the hood in place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven or inconsistent hood opening motion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarsh stop at the end of hood travel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of controlled damping from a worn gas strut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and end style before installation.
