Detailed Description

Stabilus 4B-914931 is an OE-style gas spring specified for 2011-2013 Kia Sorento applications. The 600 N force rating, 18.839-inch extended length, and 11.87-inch compressed length are important dimensions for matching lift support geometry, while the 8 mm rod and 19 mm tube help confirm physical fit. If you are replacing a worn lift support on a Kia Sorento, this part number provides a focused match for the listed vehicle range.

What It Helps Address

• Rear or liftgate support that no longer holds position
• Slow or weak opening action
• Hatch or liftgate dropping after being raised
• Uneven or inconsistent support force
• Noise or binding from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end connections against the original strut before installation. Confirm the mounting orientation and compare the force rating to the removed part to avoid over- or under-support. For best results, replace only with the correct application listed for your Kia Sorento.
