Detailed Description
This Stabilus gas spring is specified for Ferrari engine lid support and matches the right-side application on the Testarossa, 512 TR, and 512 M. The 4F-251003 uses a 320 N force rating to help control opening and closing motion, while the plastic socket with ball stud ends provide the connection style used on the listed vehicles. If you are replacing a worn engine lid strut on a Ferrari Testarossa or 512 TR, this part number offers a direct-fit reference for the correct side and length.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Engine lid that will not stay open
- Weak or slow lid lift
- Uneven or inconsistent lid support on the right side
- Noise or movement caused by a worn gas strut
- Replacement needs for aging Ferrari rear engine lid hardware
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, model, and right-side engine lid position before ordering. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and end fittings to the original strut to confirm match. Replace only with the correct side and force rating to maintain proper lid balance on the Ferrari 512 M, 512 TR, or Testarossa.
