Product Description

Use the Stabilus 4B-784169 when replacing a worn lift support on a Jeep Patriot or Jeep Compass with the listed configurations. The gas spring is sized for the specified liftgate applications and uses plastic socket ends for a secure attachment at both the rod and tube sides. Its 535 N force rating is matched to the liftgate geometry and weight requirements of the confirmed vehicle fitments.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Liftgate that drops too quickly when opened
• Rear hatch that no longer stays raised
• Weak or uneven liftgate support force
• Hard-to-open or hard-to-close rear hatch operation
• Noise or instability from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and liftgate configuration before installation. This part is listed with plastic socket connections and no hardware kit, so reuse or replacement of existing attachment points should be confirmed during service. Compare the compressed and extended lengths to the original support before installation on your Jeep Patriot or Jeep Compass.
