Product Overview

Key Features

  • Fits 1990-1994 Audi V8 Quattro, N/A.
  • 75 lb force rating for controlled lift and hold.
  • Plastic socket rod and tube connections.

Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring, part number 4B-9227BZ, is built around the specified length, force, and end-connection dimensions needed for the Audi V8 Quattro application. The 297 mm compressed length and 475 mm extended length help maintain the correct operating range, while the 335 N force rating supports smooth, controlled motion. The plastic socket design at both ends simplifies direct replacement where the original unit uses the same connection style. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 9227BZ, 441827551) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring proper support when a gas spring no longer holds position.
  • Replacing a unit that has lost force or feels weak during operation.
  • Addressing uneven or inconsistent opening and closing movement.
  • Correcting fitment issues caused by worn end sockets or incorrect dimensions.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style connections before installation. Match the replacement to the original mounting geometry and confirm the part number 4B-9227BZ against the vehicle application. Because this unit uses plastic socket ends, inspect the mating points for wear or damage before installing.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized supplier of gas springs and motion-control components, and this part is built to the specified dimensions and force rating for the listed application.
