Detailed Product Description

This Stabilus gas spring is engineered around the listed dimensions and end fittings to match the original support strut used on specific Audi A6 and Audi A6 Quattro applications. The 620 N force rating provides the lift assistance needed to hold a panel in the open position while maintaining controlled movement during opening and closing. The plastic socket connections on both ends simplify replacement when the vehicle uses the same attachment style.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 4401 and Dorman - Conduct-Tite 84401 for the same application. When searching for an Audi A6 lift support or Audi A6 Quattro gas strut replacement, the Stabilus 4F-237128 part number is the key identifier to verify against the original unit.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds a panel open
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled opening of a hood, hatch, or access panel
• Loss of support force from a worn gas strut
• Replacement needs after the original strut reaches the end of service life
• Fitment matching for vehicles using the same compressed and extended lengths

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original strut’s compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before ordering. Compare the existing part number, including 4F-237128, to confirm the correct application for your Audi A6 or Audi A6 Quattro. Replace one support at a time only if the vehicle design and service procedure call for it, and support the panel securely before removing the old strut.
