Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and end connection style before installation. Compare the original gas spring to the Stabilus 5B-030787 to confirm the 8 mm rod diameter, 18 mm tube diameter, and plastic socket attachments match the vehicle’s mounting points. Always support the panel before removing the old strut.
