Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the original gas spring to Stabilus 5B-000920 to confirm the 188 mm compressed length, 281 mm extended length, and 10 mm attachment diameters match the vehicle application. Install with the vehicle-supported component secured so the load is not carried by the gas spring during removal.
