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.

- 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.
