Detailed Description

Stabilus 4B-846816 is a gas spring specified for 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. The unit’s 585 N force, 20-inch extended length, and 12.028-inch compressed length are key dimensions for matching the original lift support geometry. This part number is also referenced in OE-style interchange listings, including Dayco 86104 and Dorman - HELP 46104, for the same application. If you are searching for a Jeep Grand Cherokee lift support, hatch support, or rear glass support by part number, 4B-846816 is the direct reference to verify.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds the hatch or glass open
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled opening action
• Loss of support force in the rear liftgate area
• Difficulty keeping the cargo opening accessible during service or loading
• Noise or binding caused by a worn gas spring

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original part dimensions, end fittings, and force rating before installation on your Jeep Grand Cherokee. Match the plastic socket connections and verify the extended and compressed lengths against the existing support. For best results, replace gas springs in pairs when the vehicle uses matched supports, and support the liftgate or glass securely before removing the old unit.
