Detailed Description

Stabilus 4B-760982 is a gas-charged lift support engineered for the Kia Sportage platform listed in the fitment data. The measured dimensions and 570 N force rating help maintain steady opening and closing action for the supported panel, while the plastic socket ends simplify alignment with the original mounting points. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6708 and Focus Auto Parts 86708 for the same application. If you are searching for a 2011-2016 Kia Sportage lift support, hatch support, or rear liftgate strut replacement, 4B-760982 is the direct part number to verify against your existing unit.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Liftgate or hatch that drops too quickly
  • Weak support when opening the rear panel
  • Uneven or inconsistent opening effort
  • Strut that no longer holds the panel in the raised position
  • Noise or binding from a worn gas support

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original part number, extended length, compressed length, and end connection style before installation. Compare the existing strut on your Kia Sportage to the 4B-760982 dimensions to verify the correct application. Support the liftgate or panel securely during removal and installation, and transfer any reusable mounting clips or retainers only if they match the original design.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed fitment and dimensional specifications for 2011-2016 Kia Sportage vehicles.
