Detailed Fitment and Function

This gas spring is used to restore controlled movement for rear liftgate, hatch, or spoiler-supported panels where the original support has weakened. The Stabilus 5B-030086 is listed for Buick Century and Buick Regal models from 2000-2005 and 2000-2004, plus 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue applications with spoiler, with 1999 VIN-specific coverage noted for Buick Century and Regal. This part cross-references Focus Auto Parts 84122 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

• Liftgate, hatch, or panel drops after being opened
• Weak or inconsistent opening force
• Support rod no longer holds the panel in position
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled movement during opening
• Noise or binding from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end connections before installation. Compare the original support to the 5B-030086 to confirm the correct force rating and mounting style for your Buick Century, Buick Regal, or Oldsmobile Intrigue application. Check the vehicle notes carefully, especially the 1999 VIN break and the Intrigue spoiler requirement.
