Detailed Product Overview

The Stabilus 4B-940716 is a gas spring/lift support specified for Kia Rio models from 2012 through 2017.

  • Noise or binding caused by worn support hardware or internal wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the extended length, compressed length, force rating, and socket-style end connections before installation. Compare the original support to the Stabilus 4B-940716 to confirm fitment on your Kia Rio. Replace supports in a stable, supported position so the panel does not drop during service.
