Detailed Description
This Stabilus gas spring is specified for Mazda 3 models from 2010 through 2014 and uses plastic socket attachments at both the rod and tube ends. The 4B-832457 configuration includes an 8 mm rod, 18 mm tube, and a 553 mm extended length, making it a fitment-based replacement for lift support or hold-open service where the original strut matches these dimensions and connection style. This part cross-references Gates 7419 for the same application.
Common Uses
- Restoring lift support on a Mazda 3 hatch or trunk area when the original strut no longer holds position
- Replacing a weak or slow-opening gas spring on 2010-2014 Mazda 3 vehicles
- Addressing sagging, dropping, or inconsistent panel support
- Correcting worn socket-style end connections that no longer retain securely
Installation Notes
Verify the original strut’s compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the rod and tube attachment diameters to the existing part to confirm match-up on the vehicle. For best results, replace only with the exact fitment specified for the Mazda 3 application and support the panel before removing the old strut.
