Stabilus 4B-9041QY Hatch Lift Support
Stabilus 4B-9041QY Gas Spring Overview
The Stabilus 4B-9041QY is a gas spring built for select Saturn liftgate and hatch applications. It delivers 510 N (115 lb) of force with OE-style plastic socket connections and the dimensions needed for proper support and controlled opening.
Compatible With 2000-2004 Saturn LW-series vehicles, this Stabilus gas spring is a direct-fit replacement for worn or weak lift support hardware. The 4B-9041QY part number is also referenced in cross-application catalogs for the same fitment.

Detailed Description
Stabilus 4B-9041QY is engineered for Saturn LW200, LW300, LW1, LW2, and L300 applications where a gas-charged support is needed for liftgate or hatch operation. The measured compressed and extended lengths, along with the 8 mm rod and 19 mm tube dimensions, help ensure the replacement matches the original support geometry. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Use this gas spring when the original support no longer holds the panel open, opens too quickly, or feels inconsistent during operation. The Stabilus 4B-9041QY is listed for 2000 Saturn LW1 and LW2, 2001-2003 Saturn LW200 and LW300, and 2004 Saturn L300.
What It Is Used For
- Weak or failing liftgate support
- Hatch or rear panel that drops unexpectedly
- Slow, uneven, or inconsistent opening action
- Loss of holding force in cold-weather operation
- Replacement of worn OE-style gas spring hardware
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, and socket-style attachment points before installation. Compare the original support to the Stabilus 4B-9041QY to confirm rod and tube end diameters match the vehicle mounting points. Replace only with the correct application for your Saturn LW200, LW300, LW1, LW2, or L300 to maintain proper lift support and panel control.
