Detailed Description

Stabilus 4B-796375 is a hood lift support engineered for the hood on 2018-2025 Lexus LC500 and 2018-2025 Lexus LC500h models. The 220 N force rating is matched to the hood application to help maintain stable opening and closing behavior, while the compact compressed length and extended length support proper fitment in the hood mounting location. This part cross-references AP Exhaust 7468 for the same application.

Use 4B-796375 when replacing a worn hood strut that no longer holds the hood up consistently or has lost smooth lift performance. It is a practical OE-style replacement for Lexus LC500 and LC500h owners looking for a direct-fit hood support with plastic socket connections.

Common Issues This Part Can Help Solve

• Hood drops after being opened
• Weak or uneven hood lift
• Hood that will not stay fully open
• Slow or inconsistent hood movement
• Noise or binding from a worn lift support

Installation Notes and Tips

Before removal, support the hood securely to prevent it from closing unexpectedly. Compare the compressed and extended lengths, rod diameter, and socket-style ends to the original support before installation. Confirm the mounting points on your Lexus LC500 or LC500h match the existing hood strut layout, and replace only with the correct application-specific part number 4B-796375.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this hood support is built to match the specified force and dimensional requirements for the listed Lexus applications. Confirm fitment by year, make, and model before ordering.
